Crying Child (FW)

Not to be confused with the Crying Child from the FNaF4 End-of-Night minigames of the core series.

“Still sad.” — The Crying Child's Loading Screen, FNaF World

Crying Child
Physical Description
Species	Human(?)/Spirit(?)
Color	Gray
Eye Color	Black

The Crying Child is an unlockable character in FNaF World.

Appearance

The Crying Child seems to be "pixelated" with blocky features. Like from the minigames in the second and third game of the core series, it has black eyes streaming with grey tears. It also has the same crying animation. Its human form is based on the kids from the Take Cake to the Children minigame from Five Nights at Freddy's 2.

Attacks

		Temporarily increases the party's attack power.
		Temporarily increases the party's defense.
		Puts a gift-box at the feet of each party member. When they die, it will automatically bring them back to life with full health.

Strategy

Crying Child is a neat supporting character to bring, although it does not attack. Like Endo-01, it has Power Song and Armor Song which can increase attack or defense to all characters for 1 minute.

In addition, Crying Child also has Gift Boxes, which can revive characters that are destroyed or prevent them from dying. This is really useful when pairing with Mimic Ball.

Trivia

• Crying Child's bio for its loading screen is a reference to itself, who is shown to still be crying.
• The Crying Child is one of the victims of the Missing Children Incident, a major event of the Five Nights at Freddy's series.
• When the Crying Child attacks, it flickers into a green-shirted kid with blue pants, who has appeared in the minigame; Take Cake to the Children, then back to normal.
• Interestingly, the Crying Child trophy is depicted with arms, but the character version has no arms.
• Unlike most other characters, the Crying Child only has a two-frame idle animation. This is a direct reference to their Five Nights at Freddy's 3 sprite, as that sprite only has two frames as well.
  • However, it shows in the files that it has several frames with the same two-frame.
    • This is most likely to balance the speed of the idle animations of each character.
  • The same applies to Purpleguy.
• The Crying Child cannot cause any direct damage, however, it is still very useful in battle due to its stat buffs and Gift Boxes.
• Along with Endo-01, it has 2 white attacks.
• Crying Child is one of four characters that has the Gift Boxes ability, the others being Funtime Foxy, RWQFSFASXC and Coffee.
• As a challenger, the Crying Child's name is shown as "???".
  • This applies to all the characters in the second to last bottom row of the "Party Creation" menu, not including Springtrap.
