Top 10 Scariest Five Nights at Freddy's 4 Characters

You're alone in your childhood bedroom, the clock ticking way too slowly, and your only company is the sound of your own breathing. Then come the faint creaks, the whispers, the scuffling just outside your view. Five Nights at Freddy's 4 doesn't mess around. It pushes the fear factor so high it feels like the walls are closing in and every flicker of light could be your last. Forget the cameras and security doors from earlier games. This time, you're stuck listening for footsteps in the dark while your flashlight barely holds the monsters at bay.

This list is all about the characters in FNaF 4 that scared the soul out of you. The ones that made you mute the game, pause to breathe, or straight up quit for the night. Vote for the ones that made your heart race and your spine tighten. Other fans already have. Now it's your turn. Which one made you sleep with the lights on?

The Top Ten

Nightmare Fredbear

Nightmare Fredbear is a character in Five Nights at Freddy's 4, appearing in Night 5 and replacing the four previous enemies. He is depicted as the most terrifying animatronic imagined by the child protagonist, following a traumatic incident in which the child is bitten by Fredbear.... read more

Hi. I am not what you think I am. I am obsessed with FNAF. Let me tell you a Fredbear theory, also known as Theory 10.
The FNAF 4 child did not get bitten by Fredbear's mouth but by his endoskeleton teeth inside him. When you think about it, how could his frontal lobe be the only thing that was damaged? His whole head would have been ripped off, but it wasn't.
At the end, we could hear a heart monitor flatline, which means that yes, he, in fact, did lose his frontal lobe.

Not surprised. Maybe a little surprised. The one who killed the crying child. In for the last night to kill you. Don't get me started playing this again. Not today.
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

I think that Nightmare is scarier than Nightmare Fredbear. Seriously, imagine seeing them both in your bedroom. Surely, the only thing you would see from Nightmare are their glowing eyes since he's invisible in the dark. That's what makes him scarier (and the big sharp teeth, of course).

Ok, we know that Nightmare is not scary for some people, but to me, um... he is creepy. I mean, look at those teeth! They are so big, and talk about the claws! They're so creepy! And the eyes! They're so red and scary! He gives me the shivers.

He is similar to Golden Freddy. Why can't he be the scariest? I don't know why Scott did not animate Nightmare for some reason, but he became my second favorite before Bonnie.
Nightmare Bonnie

Nightmare Bonnie is an antagonist in Five Nights at Freddy's 4. He is one of the seven Nightmare animatronics, or ten if the Halloween Edition animatronics and Plushtrap are included. He represents a nightmarish version of the original Bonnie character.

David Near's voice for him is pure nightmare fuel. Don't believe me? Check it out for yourself.

He's the absolute scariest to me. All the Bonnies are scary, but this one tops all. I mean, look at those eyes! I can't believe how horrifying he is.

Avoid Bonnie's door if you keep encountering him.
Nightmare Freddy

Person before me, EXCUSE ME?!
Now that's out of the way, I think he is very scary and deserves to be before his children! I hope people realize that he's scarier than his children.

Yay! A robotic bear in your house thought to be a nightmare that has tinier robotic bears come out of him! Lovely!

Eh, I guess he's scary. The first time I got jump-scared by him, I was pretty scared.
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

He freaked me out when I saw him in the closet. I'm like, WHAT DO I DO! It was my first time, ok!

Nightmare Foxy is the creepiest one in the group.

When he snaps, I jump every time.
Nightmare Cupcake

When you don't look at the door where Nightmare Chica is, she will go in your room and send her cupcake or pumpkin if you are playing in the Halloween update in FNAF 4. You are so screwed.
Plushtrap

Plushtrap is a minor antagonist in Five Nights at Freddy's 4, appearing as a plush version of Spring Bonnie. He is featured in the minigame "Fun with Plushtrap," where the player must use timing and sound to catch him moving. Plushtrap does not appear in the main gameplay sections but shows up again... read more

A lot of people would argue about this, but...
Plushtrap be like, Hi, I'm in this chair, uh, turned off your light, haha, now I'm eating you! He doesn't look creepy, just the way he sneaks around this hallway trying to kill you.

What.. I am just a plush toy! How could you have said that.. I wish I was not a plush toy so I could be free, and I would bite those haters. Ha ha.
Nightmare Chica

Not that scary, but I do like her eyes!
Nightmare Mangle

Nightmare Mangle is a horrifying version of Mangle that makes its first appearance in the Halloween Edition of Five Nights at Freddy's 4. In this edition, it replaces Nightmare Foxy and appears with other nightmare-themed animatronics. These include Nightmare Balloon Boy, Nightmarionne, Jack-O-Chica... read more

Honestly, Mangle is pretty scary. She always gets me with the closet! Plus, I can't hear breathing with her radio! But still, Mangle is the best character!

Not very scary, but when you first get jump-scared by Nightmare Mangle, you will get a fright!
Nightmare Balloon Boy
