The series’ chilling characters have terrified millions of players, especially those with fears of animatronics and mannequins. With the announcement of the Five Nights At Freddy’s: Security BreachDLC “Ruin,” which is set to release sometime in 2023, several fans and content creators have been revisiting the series as a whole, uncovering many of these forgotten, nightmarish animatronics.
10 Rockstar Bonnie
Rockstar Bonnie appears to be designed as a cross between Bonnie and Toy Bonnie. The minor animatronic was introduced in Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza Simulator. Rockstar Bonnie was also included as one of the fifty animatronics featured in Five Nights At Freddy’s: Ultimate Custom Night.
The fearsome part of Rockstar Bonnie comes not from his looks, but from his lines of dialogue featured in Five Nights At Freddy’s: Ultimate Custom Night. He speaks in rhymes that have been pitched to make the monotone voice sound as if it’s “singing.” Even creepier, his rhymes are all dark, threatening, and graphic in nature, with lines such as: “What a fine day to come and say that your face and flesh I must flay.”
9 Withered Bonnie
It’s a common trope in horror to have monsters without faces. Removing a character’s face removes their ability to express emotions, even if they’re primarily those of anger or fear, making the audience less able to empathize or identify with them. Withered Bonnie falls into this category of faceless monsters, as it was the only one of the original four animatronics to get such a drastic redesign in Five Nights At Freddy’s 2.
The design itself is chilling, especially to those with a fear of animatronics. Being able to see the teeth and mechanics behind Bonnie’s normally fuzzy, friendly, and welcoming face feels like the player is seeing something they shouldn’t.
8 The Daycare Attendant (Sundrop/Moondrop)
Five Nights At Freddy’s: Security Breach didn’t introduce many brand new animatronics, but the ones it did introduce to the series were chilling, to say the least. Many fans of the series remember the Daycare Attendant section of the game for one reason or another, but mostly for Sundrop/Moondrop’s cheerily creepy designs.
They both don large, toothy grins that contradict their malicious intentions. Sundrop may seem harmless enough, raving about games and candy when the player enters the daycare, but he menacingly insists that the player doesn’t turn off the lights—don’t turn off the lights.
7 Molten Freddy
Molten Freddy was introduced as one of the main antagonists in Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria Simulator. He’s a decrepit, melted animatronic that’s primarily made up of wires and broken mechanical parts. Canonically, he’s supposed to be an amalgamation of what remains of Ennard, Funtime Freddy, Funtime Foxy, and Ballora.

His appearance is unsettling, with wires and animatronic parts sticking out of his body. His face is melted and broken, giving off an even creepier appearance. Molten Freddy is unsettling from far away, making his in-your-face jumpscare even more jarring.
6 Ennard
Ennard is the cunning, deceptive main antagonist in Five Nights At Freddy’s Sister Location. Over the course of the game, the player is led astray by the directions of Ennard.
Its appearance and intentions are equally terrifying. Its unsettling, clown-like face is a true fright for those who have a phobia of clowns, dolls, or mannequins. Its face is matched by the fear that comes with knowing that all this animatronic wants is to lure the player into the “scooping room,” where they’ll meet a gory, untimely demise.
5 DJ Music Man
DJ Music Man might look friendly and playful, but the sheer size of this clown/spider-like animatronic is enough to give players the chills. Introduced in Five Nights At Freddy’s: Security Breach, DJ Music Man is a true nightmare, especially for those who have phobias of dolls and spider-like creatures.
One of the most memorable and heart-pounding scenes in Five Nights At Freddy’s: Security Breach is where DJ Music Man slowly creeps towards Gregory as he’s trying desperately to dodge obstacles and run away. The stealth aspect of the game might have been one of its prime features, but there’s something especially chilling about this pants-soiling chase scene.
4 Scrap Baby
Scrap Baby looks like something directly out of a child’s nightmare. With sharp, jagged teeth, small pupils, a decrepit exterior, and even a large, claw-like hand, she’s pulled out all the punches to make players feel terrified by her appearance.

Introduced as one of the main antagonists in Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria Simulator, Scrap Baby is by far one of the most visually chilling antagonists.
3 Nightmarionne
Nightmarionne was introduced as one of the special animatronics included in the Halloween Update of Five Nights At Freddy’s 4. It’s meant to be the “nightmare” version of the Marionette from Five Nights At Freddy’s 2, but its name has been notably shortened down to Nightmarionne.
Its outward appearance is one of the most menacing in the franchise to date. Nightmarionne glares at the player with two glowing eyes and dons a large, sharp-toothed smile. Physically, it looks a lot like the Slenderman, with long, black limbs and tendrils accompanied by a white, porcelain face.
2 Burntrap
Burntrap is the final boss of one of the alternate endings to Five Nights At Freddy’s: Security Breach. Much like other Springtrap and Scraptrap, Burntrap is a withered Spring Bonnie suit with the reanimated corpse of William Afton stirring inside.
While the other variations of Springtrap are implied to have, or blatantly show, William Afton’s corpse inside. Burntrap does so in a much more gory and detailed manner. Players can see Afton’s jaw protruding from the bottom of the animatronic head, as well as his veins and muscles infused with the wires and animatronic parts.
1 Nightmare
Nightmare, true to its name, is one of the most fearsome and menacing animatronics in the Five Nights At Freddy’s franchise. Nightmare is a large, bulky black bear animatronic that bears a mouthful of sharp teeth and two beady red eyes. Introduced in Five Nights At Freddy’s 4, Nightmare is the final antagonist of the six animatronics, including Nightmare Chica, Bonnie, Foxy, Freddy, and Fredbear.
If his appearance in Five Nights At Freddy’s 4 wasn’t chilling enough, his threatening voice lines in Five Nights At Freddy’s: Ultimate Custom Night truly remind players of the vicious vengeance that the animatronics embody. With violent lines such as: “I will vomit you back to relive your horror.”
