Top 10 Best Five Nights at Freddy's Animatronics

From the OGs that started it all to the newer models that make you question every life decision leading up to this point, there are some animatronics that just stand out. Maybe it's their lore. Maybe it's the design. Maybe it's the way they come barreling down the hallway at 3 AM like they're late for a meeting with your soul.

Whatever the reason, people have strong opinions, and this list is packed with fan favorites, deep cuts, and a few surprises.

Think your favorite deserves more respect? Think one of them is way overrated? That's the whole point. Hit that vote button and let the rankings reflect your FNaF wisdom.

The Top Ten

  1. Foxy

    Foxy is one of the main antagonists in the video game Five Nights at Freddy's. He is an animatronic pirate fox who hides in Pirate Cove and moves quickly toward the player. Foxy appears in various forms throughout the game's sequels and spin-offs.

    Foxy is just amazing! I like him because he is different than the other animatronics. He just runs towards your office if you don't check on him often. (I would do the same.) And I mean, come on, he's a pirate!

    I am not really a fan of jumpscares, and Foxy just goes through the door when he jump scares you. And this is just my opinion. Everyone can think whatever they like.

    Yarr, maties!

    Foxy is an awesome character, even though he is overrated. It doesn't matter. Just look at him - he's awesome! He did the bite of '87, and that's cool.

    This is a one-of-a-kind character. He performs in Pirate's Cove, has a hook, caused the bite of '87, and he was the first FNAF phantom plush.

  2. Bonnie

    Bonnie is one of the four main antagonists in the horror video game Five Nights at Freddy's, released in 2014. He is an animatronic rabbit and plays guitar in the Freddy Fazbear's Pizza house band. Bonnie appears in various forms throughout the game's sequels and spin-offs.

    I love his design. It looks so good and natural. All the FNaF 1 and 2 characters are the only ones I could see being real in our universe. Bonnie suits having no eyebrows. It makes him even creepier. I'd say he's the creepiest animatronic in the first game.

    He even gave Scott nightmares. I wonder if bunnies are Scott's favorite, though? Because in almost every trailer, there's usually Bonnie or some sort of bunny featuring a jump scare or scary part in it. Don't you see the pattern? Bonnie is one of the best, and he made my childhood amazing.

    Bonnie is literally the best. He continues to have the best design in every game and, in most cases, is the most active, making him fun to deal with. FNAF wouldn't be FNAF without Bonnie. Just think about it.

  3. Freddy Fazbear

    Freddy Fazbear (originally known as Freddybear, as seen in the Kickstarter) is one of the four main antagonists of Five Nights at Freddy's. He later appears in various forms across the succeeding games. Freddy is a haunted animatronic bear who plays a central role in the franchise's horror-themed narrative... read more

    He's the face of the game, as someone before me mentioned. He's also probably the most creepy in the first game. Sure, Golden Freddy has that mysterious creepiness that comes out of nowhere, but so does Freddy Fazbear.

    He is hard to follow on the cameras, has his own tunes and laughs, and it's so epic. He's one of the best characters. When I came back to the fandom, he overtook Bonnie in the list of my favorites. Sorry, Bonnie, you're still second favorite, though.

    Freddy is the main character, which in my opinion, makes him the most awesome. He even attacks like a predator, which is awesome! And he plays his cool song that I like to call, "You End Here". He's just awesome!

  4. Mangle

    Mangle is a character introduced in the video game Five Nights at Freddy's 2. Mangle is a disassembled animatronic fox with a yellow right eye and an empty left eye socket. Their broken appearance and erratic movements make them one of the more unsettling animatronics in the series.

    A very unique character, one being torn apart and assembled incorrectly. She is a nice addition to the game with her gargled sounds and new voices in recent games like Custom Night and Special Delivery.

    Her mechanics are fun, and the aesthetic of her hanging from the ceiling adds a spider-like and creepy aspect to gameplay.

    Okay, just imagine this: You're just starting FNaF 2 and hear a radio station in your office. You check the right vent and see an animatronic with lipstick inside. Of course, FNaF fans didn't know there was a Freddy mask when they first started the game, so you begin to look around for a button to close the vent. You search the cameras, but when you flip them down, you see an animatronic on the ceiling. It's too late now.

  5. The Puppet

    Amazing. Brilliant. Probably the best character in the second game. He's usually the one most people get jump-scared by first, carelessly underestimating the need of winding up the music box. The character is genderless but possessed by a girl. Who said the Puppet itself had a specific gender?

    Went on to possess Lefty, but I prefer the Puppet for many reasons. I can also never wrap my head around the idea that the Puppet and Lefty have the same soul. Never. At least Charlotte's free now. She really deserves it.

    Just think about it. What is scarier than a creepy doll that can move around and kill people during the night? In my opinion, she has one of the more "realistic" concepts, not to mention she looks creepy overall.

  6. Chica

    Chica is one of the four main antagonists in the video game Five Nights at Freddy's, created by Scott Cawthon. She is an animatronic chicken and a member of the haunted pizzeria band. Chica appears in multiple variations throughout the series, including Toy Chica, Phantom Chica, and Glamrock Chica.

    I love and hate at the same time how they made a chicken scary. Also, I love the cupcake sidekick!

    Chica is way better than the other animatronics! I'm glad that Chica is in the top 5 best animatronics!

    She's going to play a big role in Security Breach.

  7. Springtrap

    Springtrap is a central character and antagonist in Five Nights at Freddy's 3, which was released on March 2, 2015. He appears as a decayed animatronic bunny known as Spring Bonnie and contains the corpse of William Afton, also known as the Purple Guy.... read more

    Wow, where do we start with this guy?

    Whether it's Purple Guy, Springtrap, William Afton, Scraptrap, or Glitchtrap, it's fair to say that all of them are massive names in the series. But it's the FNAF 3 version (Springtrap) that truly is amazing.

    FNAF is the journey of a depressed family slowly tearing itself apart, as well as a decaying pizza place with a dark secret. Both of these are due to one infamous name in the community - William Afton.

    The story behind the spirit within Springtrap begins after William loses his youngest son and daughter accidentally at the hands of him and his business partner, Henry Emily, driving him insane. Incorrectly seeking revenge, William takes the lives of six innocent children, including Henry's daughter, who goes on to possess the puppet. William uses the Spring Bonnie animatronic/human suit to lure them to their fate. Years later, when he realizes that the children possess Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, etc., William decides to break apart the animatronics to reveal their spirits. Their ghosts begin to haunt him, causing him to hide in the old Spring Bonnie suit. Too busy panicking, William doesn't realize that the suit is in animatronic mode, instantly crushing him and trapping him inside, earning him the name - Springtrap!

  8. Funtime Freddy

    Funtime Freddy is an animatronic character featured in Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location. He appears on Night 2 in the Breaker Room, on Night 3 during repair in Parts and Services, and again on Night 5 in the Scooping Room.... read more

    He's my second favorite in Sister Location, besides Baby. They're both so awesome. I love their designs. His voice is annoying, but it goes with his character, as he always tries to stop Mike in achieving his goals - it's hilarious. Bon Bon is probably fed up with him.

    Best duo ever. I love Funtime Freddy. Every time I look at Molten Freddy, I see him. At least the kids they murdered are free. I'm not sure about the animatronics themselves and whether or not the remnant in them has a vital role in their behavior.

    His voice was very surprising and a good change from the low, deep Freddy voice we had grown accustomed to through fan animations, games, etc. He's a fun addition to the game with his fun-time color scheme of pink and white. His friendly puppet, BonBon, was a nice side character with him.

  9. Circus Baby

    She's amazing. She has a great, tragic backstory that helps you empathize with her character. She was taken away at such a young age and was the start of William's rampage - as he saw that she possessed Baby, he wanted more children to possess other animatronics just the same. What a messed up man.

    She got brainwashed with her dad's wants, but thankfully, she was freed from that with the fire. Now her soul is resting. I wonder if she has any remorse for what her dad's going through.

    Circus Baby is my absolute favorite character in FNAF. My friends at camp were saying how cool she was, noting not only can she sing and dance, but she can also take song requests, make balloons, and even serve ice cream!

  10. Golden Freddy

    Golden Freddy is one of the primary antagonists in the video game Five Nights at Freddy's. He appears as a ghost-like, yellow version of Freddy Fazbear and is known for his unpredictable appearances in the game. His mysterious nature has made him a fan-favorite among players of the series.

    If I could date anyone in the FNAF universe, it would be Cassidy. Cassidy has a ton of lore and theories to her name. Personally, I think Cassidy is a girl, and the name Cassidy was pretty popular in the late '80s.

    I don't really like Golden Freddy, but my friends and I did a FNAF roleplay, and I was Golden Freddy. I like Cassidy, but I really only like Golden Freddy because it reminds me of that roleplay, and it was really fun.

    I really, really love him! He is just awesome. He's better than those other animatronics.

    11. The Newcomers
  11. ?

    Lefty

    His story relevance is fascinating, with his name being an anagram for Lure Encapsulate Fuse Transport Extract. This is relevant towards the puppet and how he traps the puppet, most likely to use as a source of remnant. This can be seen in a rare screen of Lefty outside in an alleyway.

    The lore with him is pretty interesting. If you didn't know, he's designed to trap the Puppet. He's also overall just got a good design and is from my favorite FNaF. Good job, Scott!

    Lefty is cool because of his amazing voice and his amazing art style. I just really like him/her.

  12. ?

    Lolbit

    Lolbit is an animatronic character from Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location. It is a recolored, disembodied version of Funtime Foxy's head. Lolbit appears as a minor Easter Egg in the main game and is also a customizable character in the Custom Night mode.

    Lolbit's appearance in FNAF World was surprising, but what was more surprising was her return in Sister Location Custom Night. Her color scheme is very vibrant and pleasant to look at. Her mechanics in the game are a fun addition. I enjoy her as a special character in games like "Help Wanted" or "Ultimate Custom Night."

    Lolbit has a great color scheme, despite being recolored from Funtime Foxy.

    Lolbit also has amazing voice lines (to hear them, look it up on YouTube).

    I like Lolbit and want to know more about them. They are a cool animatronic, but I like the colors on Funtime Foxy more.

    13. The Contenders

  13. Ennard

    Ennard is a hybrid animatronic composed of the endoskeletons of Circus Baby, Ballora, Funtime Foxy, and Funtime Freddy. Its body is covered with scattered animatronic eyeballs, giving it a disturbing appearance.

    In Sister Location, Ennard uses the Scooper Machine to remove Michael Afton's internal... read more

    He was my favorite. He's creepy and cute, like a scary clown. Sometimes, I think it's cool when he dresses like that or acts. Also, in "Ennard Interview," it's very creepy when his head rolls down, and I like how scary he talks. He has been my favorite since I was a child. Well, I think he is the best animatronic. I hope he becomes more popular later. He is still cool!

    What a creepy character. After Circus Baby took her endoskeleton and everyone else's to form Ennard, her plan to scoop Michael's body was set into place.

    This has to be my favorite character! Not only is he unique, but he's also burnt spaghetti!

  14. Shadow Freddy

    Shadow Freddy is a mysterious, shadowy purple variant of Freddy Fazbear that appears on rare occasions in the Parts and Service room in Five Nights at Freddy's 2. His presence is considered an Easter egg, and staring at him for too long can cause the game to crash or freeze, particularly on mobile devices.... read more

    This is number 2 on my favorites.

  15. Toy Bonnie

    Toy Bonnie is a redesigned animatronic and one of the main antagonists in "Five Nights at Freddy's 2." He serves as an upgraded version of the original Bonnie character. Toy Bonnie replaced the damaged and older Withered Bonnie in an effort to improve the animatronics.

    I love Toy Bonnie! I think he's the best! I hate the fact that he gets bullied in the fan base for his AR voice. Who knows? Maybe we can see him again in Security Breach? I REALLY miss Toy Bonnie, and I think he should perfectly fit in. Like if you agree or not.

    I think Toy Bonnie is badass because he plays the guitar in the band, and I don't care if he is boastful. He is a total superstar and would love to rock along with the Glamrocks and play a romantic song for Toy Chica.

    I think Toy Bonnie is cute but a little bit scary too.

  16. Shadow Bonnie

    Shadow Bonnie is a minor antagonist in Five Nights at Freddy's 2. She rarely appears in the office and can crash the game upon being seen. Also known as RWQFSFASXC, she is a shadowy, silhouetted version of Toy Bonnie with white eyes and teeth.

  17. Funtime Chica

    Same for Chica number 1 but better!

    She is cool but gives me Toy Chica vibes, and I hate Toy Chica. I wish she was with the other Funtimes in SL.

  18. Nightmare

    Nightmare is an antagonist in Five Nights at Freddy's 4 and one of the seven nightmare animatronics, or ten if the Halloween Edition animatronics and Plushtrap are included. He appears as the shadowy incarnation of Nightmare Fredbear. Nightmare serves as the final antagonist in the game, presenting... read more

    Nightmare is such an interesting character. I think that it could represent the FNaF 4 kid becoming Shadow Freddy. I don't know.

    Although I prefer Nightmare Fredbear, Nightmare is basically a see-through Fredbear with a brain and heart and all. What is there not to be scared of?

    This is my favorite animatronic. He is creepy but cool at the same time.

  19. Funtime Foxy

    Funtime Foxy is one of the seven primary animatronics featured in Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location and plays the role of an antagonist. It is a circus-themed redesign of the original Foxy character from earlier games.... read more

    Funtime Foxy is very, very cool. I love his design and just the character in general.

    He/she is my favorite because the designs are so detailed!

    His voice is amazing, and the color palette is very nice.

  20. Nightmarionne

    Nightmarionne is a character from Five Nights at Freddy's 4 who appears in the Halloween downloadable content released on October 31. In this DLC, Nightmarionne replaces Nightmare in Nightmare Mode and Night 8. The character also appears in Ultimate Custom Night and is a nightmarish version of the Marionette... read more

    Nightmarionne is literally the tallest animatronic in the series, standing at ten feet, although not canon. But still, nothing beats the fact that this slender gargantuan is horrifying.

    Absolutely! He is one of the best Nightmare characters due to his awesome design. He looks so human-like.

    Nightmarionne is one of the best animatronics in the FNaF series! Truly my favorite.

  21. Molten Freddy

    I know it's not on here, but why? I mean, it's literally Ennard mixed with all the Funtime animatronics. What else would you want?

    My favorite guy ever and for a good reason: the leader of the Scrap animatronics and an all-around legend.

    He's cool, and hopefully, he will be a main villain in the future.

  22. Ballora

    Ballora is one of the seven primary animatronics featured in Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location. There are twelve animatronics in total when including those from Custom Night. She performs in her own area, the Ballora Gallery, which is located to the west of Circus Baby's Entertainment and Rental... read more

    Well, there's worse. I think this is a good spot to rank her. I don't like the Minireenas and her voice lines, so I don't think she is that good.

    She is amazing! I love her. Help us!

    Why is Ballora hated so much? She is my favorite behind Circus Baby and Scrap Baby.

  23. Balloon Boy

    Balloon Boy is a human-rendered animatronic character introduced in the video game Five Nights at Freddy's 2, which was released in 2014. In the game, Balloon Boy does not physically harm the player but interferes by disabling the flashlight, thereby making it easier for hostile animatronics to attack... read more

    Humorously underrated, he's not even bad. He just has a thing for batteries. I love how, with all the animatronics that can kill you, they hate BB just for being who he is.

    One of my favorite animatronics in the second game, besides the Puppet, he's adorable and innocent. Very creepy, though, probably based on the male Animal Crossing protagonist.

    I don't know why everyone hates him, but he is a really great animatronic.

    He's a jerk, but that makes him a good villain.

  24. Toy Freddy

    So many people hate him. They say that he's mean, but there is no evidence for that whatsoever! I really like Toy Freddy (the webpage spelled his name wrong), and I don't care what anyone else says!

  25. Withered Bonnie

    Withered Bonnie is one of the animatronic characters in Five Nights at Freddy's 2. He is introduced as an older, damaged version of Bonnie who begins moving on Night 3 to try to reach and attack the player. Withered Bonnie is missing his face and left arm, starts in the Parts and Service room, and typically... read more

    He is the best and will always be!

  26. Withered Foxy

    Withered Foxy is just so cool. His design and his spirit are cool as well.

    I like how in FNAF 2 he is the only one that is not fooled by the Freddy mask.

    Withered Foxy has my favorite Foxy design by far! He looks so cool.

    It's a scarier Foxy. What's not to love?

  27. Nightmare Foxy

    Nightmare Foxy is a character who appears in Five Nights at Freddy's 4, first showing up on Night 2. He runs down the hall, sneaks through the slightly open door, and hides in the closet until the player closes the closet door for a long enough time. If the player delays or leaves the door open too long... read more

    Nightmare Foxy has such an awesome design and is an underrated character. I love how terrifying he is.

    He is super cool and scary, which makes him a great character in the 4th game.
