“Don't be afraid! Soon you will look just like me...Beautiful!” — Mangle, Ultimate Custom Night

Mangle is a major antagonist and one of the toy animatronics of the Five Nights at Freddy's series, first appearing in Five Nights at Freddy's 2. They're Foxy's redesigned counterpart from the past and an improved replacement (despite being heavily damaged) of Foxy's pre-rebuilt incarnation Withered Foxy, serving as the building toy of the newly refurbished Freddy Fazbear's Pizza of 1987. After the pizzeria was only open for a few short weeks, it was then closed down, and Mangle, along with the rest of the toy animatronics, were presumably scrapped due to possible malfunctions.

Physical Appearance

When transferring the core cast of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza into toy animatronics, Fazbear Entertainment tried to remake Foxy's design, thinking the first one was too scary. It was heavily altered to be more kid-friendly, making them the most drastically changed toy variant.

After being placed in Kid's Cove, they were torn apart by children so often the staff gave up on putting them back together, leaving them as a "take apart and put back together" attraction, also making them the most damaged version of Foxy.

Although not seen in the canon games, Mangle's original form has been shown in both FNaF World and merchandise. Funtime Foxy, as they were originally called (not to be confused with the similarly-designed animatronic from Sister Location that shares the same name) had a very similar body to Toy Bonnie, except while Bonnie's torso is pear-shaped, Funtime Foxy's was round and thin. They were predominantly white, with a pink belly, pelvis, and toenails, with a silver hook instead of a right hand, and a long white tail that's pink at the tip. They wore a bow tie, but unlike Toy Freddy and Toy Bonnie's, it appears to be an actual tied bow rather than just a piece of plastic shaped like a bow tie.

One of the only parts of their suit that remained after being disfigured is their fox-like head, white in color with pink inner-ears and snout. They have red cheeks and lipstick, purplish-pink eyelids with long eyelashes, and yellow eyes. As The Mangle, their head is missing its left eye and has loose wires near the ears.

After being taken apart and put back together again by children, Mangle has most of its endoskeleton fully visible. Their leg joints have two legs each, with one of their right legs having a right hand instead of a foot, and although all three feet have painted nails, only the right foot retains its suit. Their endoskeleton has a tail with a white sphere at the end, which presumably used to be the joint for their large fox tail.

Their left arm is made up of four arm pieces, and their neck leads up to another right hand. Their right arm joint has two arm pieces leading up to an endoskeleton head that bears Mangle's missing left eye, however, Mangle's suited head also appears to have its own endoskeleton head, connected with three arm pieces to a joint between their neck and shoulder. The middle arm piece has Mangle's reddish-pink bow tied to it. Many loose wires can be seen hanging from their necks and pelvis.

In Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted, Mangle's design is slightly altered. Their endoskeleton tail is curved and colored white, with the sphere at the end being pink, as well as their eyelids being solid pink in both heads. They are also rusty, and lack nail polish on their endoskeleton feet.

In Five Nights at Freddy's AR: Special Delivery, Mangle's design remains the same as their original; however, for realism purposes, their design receives specular reflection.

Personality

Revealed in Ultimate Custom Night, Mangle is shown to be aware of the fact that they are in severe disrepair. Their voice uses several different pitches (both masculine and feminine) at once while also sounding somewhat distorted. Scott Cawthon describes Mangle's voice as being almost indiscernible (playing into the running gag of Mangle's gender being ambiguous).

As seen in Five Nights at Freddy's AR: Special Delivery, it appears that they have multiple personalities inhabiting them (much like Ennard). They also do not speak in multiple pitches simultaneously, and instead uses different pitches and tones depending on which personality is active. They often speak in a somewhat mocking or sarcastic tone, mostly when teasing the player. They also seem traumatized by the experience of being disassembled repeatedly by children in Kid’s Cove. Their sanity seems to destabilize whenever their body parts fall off of what remains of their body.

Functionality

The cause for Mangle's severely mutilated state, as noted by Phone Guy from the second game, is due to the exposure to toddlers, who would constantly rip them apart, piece by piece, forcing the staff to reassemble them after every shift. Eventually, the staff decided that Mangle would become a "take apart and put together attraction" for the younger kids to mess around with, which would also reduce maintenance costs. The result of this has since caused them to be dubbed by the staff as "the Mangle."

In Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted, Mangle's main head is shown to be capable of swiveling vertically at a 360-degree angle.

Gameplay

Five Nights at Freddy's 2

Locations

In the Right Air Vent.

Mangle will begin each night in Kid's Cove, lying in the corner in a contorted heap. Upon activating, they mainly navigate the Pizzeria by climbing along the ceiling, travelling through the Prize Counter, Game Area, and Party Rooms 1 and 2 before crawling through the Right Air Vent to reach The Office. Mangle will never use the Main Hall to reach the Office, and may frequently appear in the same room as other animatronics. If Mangle enters or leaves a room that is being monitored by the Cameras, static feed will occur.

Behavior

Mangle is highly active, first activating at the beginning of Night 2 and remaining active for the rest of the week (except for Night 3, in which Mangle does not become active). It does not need to be watched as frequently as other animatronics, as the static feed it creates will let the player know when it reaches the vent. Upon seeing Mangle in the right vent's blind spot, the player must immediately put the Freddy Fazbear Head on to ward it off. However, pulling the Monitor up before doing so will allow Mangle to get inside, and closing it will reveal that Mangle has climbed up onto the ceiling.

Upon reaching the ceiling, Mangle will hang there for the rest of the night, attacking at a random time by swinging down to bite the player's head off. It is possible to survive until 6 AM even with Mangle in the Office, but this is highly unlikely - if the Monitor is pulled up (which is inevitable thanks to the player having to wind the Music Box), Mangle will immediately attack upon closing it.

While visible, Mangle will create distorted, garbled sounds similar to radio static, which is most likely an amateur radio band with a military-encoded RTTY-75W (Radio Teletype 75 baud WIDE) transmission. There is what sounds like a demonic voice in the middle of the noise, but it is just a mistuned SSB (Single Side Band) voice. Despite popular belief, RTTY isn't Morse code or SSTV, and the voices don't mean anything. This sound is just for aesthetics and serves no purpose in-game.

Five Nights at Freddy's 3

Mangle is playable in the Mangle's Quest minigame.

Ultimate Custom Night

Mangle returns as one of the selectable animatronics in Ultimate Custom Night. If they are active, Mangle will attempt to get into The Office through the Vents, and the player must place Vent Snares in their path to prevent Mangle from getting in. Unlike the other animatronics, if Mangle gets to the vent opening, they will never leave, and sealing the vent door will not make them go away. If Mangle gets into the Office, they will hang from the ceiling for the rest of the night, just like in FNaF 2, and will eventually attack if the player pulls the Monitor up or fails to reset the ventilation.

In Bear of Vengeance, Mangle (referred to as "The Dog") appears as The Fox's advisor and second-in-command. They mostly serve as comic relief, but have very little screen time and only appear in scenes with The Fox, usually either praising him or asking if they can use the bathroom.

Five Night's at Freddy's: Help Wanted

Mangle appears in the FNAF 2 levels alongside the other Toy and Withered animatronics. They use their behavior from the original game, but now they can sometimes use the Main Hall to get into the Office.

Mangle also appears as the main enemy in the first Vent Repair level. Upon pulling the first lever and repairing the first vent, Mangle will appear and attempt to climb through the now open vent to attack the player, but is scared away as their headlight activates and retreats into the dark. From there, Mangle will start to attack the player as they try to fix the rest of the vents, climbing through any vents that have already been fixed in order to reach them. Mangle must be scared off with the headlight as they try to climb through, else the player will receive a Game Over. Fixing all the vents will clear the level and deactivate Mangle. In the blacklight version, Mangle moves much faster and is joined by a shadowy clone of itself.

Five Nights at Freddy's AR: Special Delivery

Mangle was added to the game as a part of a limited-time event that lasted 5 days. Mangle highly differs from the other Toy animatronics. Upon going Haywire, the player must put their mask on and look away. Mangle's parts will drop off of their body, and must also be collected by finding and tapping on them, and the player have a limited time to do so. In place of the shocker, The player must put the mask on as Mangle charges, and during their charges they will always decloak. Once the player have collected 3 of Mangle's parts, Mangle will charge for the final time, and as long as the player have the mask on, they will self destruct in front of the player.
