“There's more fantasy and fun where I came from...” |
Fredbear, also known as Freddy, is one of the two original springlock animatronics of Fredbear's Family Diner, serving as the mascot. He is the earliest iteration of Freddy Fazbear from the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise, and the first known animatronic made by Henry Emily.[1]
Physical Appearance
Seen physically in Ultimate Custom Night, Fredbear's appearance is similar to Golden Freddy from the first game but his top hat and bowtie are purple rather than black, and seemingly glow. Curiously, his original eyes are replaced with phantom-esque, tiny-glowing dots. Some depictions of Fredbear show him with black accessories.
Upon closer inspection when compared to Freddy Fazbear, Fredbear has a different model shape. His ears are smaller, rounder, and less pointy, his top hat is smaller, he has smaller eyebrows, his whiskers are placed in different positions, he's slightly chubbier, has a different head shape, and has a lightly smaller jaw. Seen in his jumpscare, Fredbear seems to be an edited model of Freddy Fazbear, as his arms, torso, ears, and muzzle are nearly identical to Freddy's, and upon looking closely, his endoskeleton appears to be Endo-01.
Fredbear as he appears in Secret of the Mimic.
Reappearing in Secret of the Mimic, he looks similar to the other springlock suits found in the prototype pizzeria under Murray's Costume Manor, with metallic textures, and generally low tech mechanics. He wears a purple bowtie and an unusually black top hat, with proportions similar to the classic Freddy Fazbear. He has semicircle-shaped ears and a complete lack of eyes. It's possible that this is not the same Fredbear animatronic as the one that was involved in the "The Big Bite" and was instead built by the MCM company afterwards.
In plush form, he resembles a Golden Freddy plush but with purple accessories and buttons.
Personality
While not much is known about Fredbear's personality, it seems that he is similar to Freddy Fazbear and Golden Freddy. Like Freddy, Fredbear entertains children and sings on stage with his partner Spring Bonnie. However, he seems to be mysterious like Golden Freddy, as his voice is inaudible and garbled.
Functionality
Fredbear is a springlock animatronic suit, being composed of several individual spring-powered locking mechanisms. If someone is operating his suit, the person must be careful not to touch or lubricate any of the springlocks and keep them tightly wound.
