This is a trivia sub-page related to Nightmare Chica.
Five Nights at Freddy's 4[]
General[]
- Nightmare Chica is one of the three nightmare animatronics who doesn't appear on the main menu screen; two others are Nightmare Freddy and Nightmare themselves.
- When attacked by Nightmare Chica inside the bedroom, her cupcake will perform the jumpscare.
- Nightmare Chica is not seen at all during this jumpscare, suggesting that she throws the Cupcake into the room rather than entering it herself, or that the cupcake somehow sneaks in on its own, supported by it seemingly hovering in midair during its jumpscare.
- This is the Cupcake's only appearance in the entire series that affects the player, such as attacking them and ending the night.
- Nightmare Chica is not seen at all during this jumpscare, suggesting that she throws the Cupcake into the room rather than entering it herself, or that the cupcake somehow sneaks in on its own, supported by it seemingly hovering in midair during its jumpscare.
- The behavior in which Nightmare Chica approaches the Bedroom via the Right Hall is similar to that of her counterpart, Chica, who approaches the Office through the East Hall in the first game.
- This behavior also correlates with Withered Chica's crawling through the Right Air Vent to enter the Office in the second game.
- Nightmare Chica and Nightmare Mangle are the only nightmare animatronics to have mismatched eyes.
- On occasion, Nightmare Chica can be heard knocking around pots and pans in the house's kitchen, which is possibly a reference to how the original Chica could be heard in the Kitchen knocking around pots in the first game.
- Nightmare Chica appears to have five fingers on each hand, as opposed to the four-fingered hands of the original Chica.
- This also applies to the other nightmare animatronics, with the exception of Plushtrap. The reason for this is unclear though it may simply be an aesthetic choice to give the Nightmare animatronics a more menacing appearance.
- Nightmare Chica does not seem to be holding the cupcake during her first jumpscare.
- Nightmare Chica has three rows of teeth, giving her the most out of all the animatronics in the series.
- This is an exaggerated and expounded reference to how Chica has the most visible endoskeleton teeth, even when in good condition, as seen in the first game.
- This was changed as of Ultimate Custom Night, with Nightmare Chica (and to that extent, Jack-O-Chica as well) having two sets of teeth, just like the other nightmare animatronics.
- This is the only counterpart of Chica to have a torn-up bib.
- Nightmare Chica has a rare chance of attacking the player at 5 AM during Custom Night, without her even being active. It is unknown how or why this occurs.
- Nightmare Chica is the only nightmare animatronic to carry any type of equipment.
- Nightmare Chica is one of the few nightmare animatronics to fully close their mouth.
- This can be easily seen in the mobile version.
- Nightmare Chica is one of the two antagonists in the series to have both of their jumpscares in the Extra menu, the other being Springtrap.
- In Nightmare Chica's teaser, her eye color is orange, but in the game, it's red.
- This is most likely a change in development or the lighting.
- Along with Jack-O-Chica, Nightmare Chica is one of the few nightmares in the game to have a completely different-style for her endoskeleton feet. The others being Nightmare Foxy and Nightmare Mangle.
Nightmare Cupcake[]
- This is the Cupcake's only counterpart to be hostile and being able to jumpscare the player.
- It is also the Cupcake's only counterpart to have an ability to physically move its mouth, as it was given to fit the nightmarish design.
- On Nightmare Chica's teaser, her Cupcake was seen sitting on her right shoulder. This is never seen in-game.
Errors[]
- Strangely, the cupcake while attacking the player plays the same sound byte as the other nightmare animatronics during its jumpscare, but on the Extra menu, Plushtrap's higher-pitched jumpscare sound byte is heard instead.
- When Nightmare Chica retreats once seen, her chin appears to clip through her shoulder. This is easier to see on the brightened image.
Bugs[]
- If the player closes the door on Nightmare Chica at 10-second intervals, this causes her to leave but then immediately run back to the door, which can often result in a jumpscare if the player is not aware of the bug.
- The same bug happens with Nightmare Bonnie.
Ultimate Custom Night[]
General[]
- Nightmare Chica has her own mugshot seen in the game's last teaser. However, due to lacking any customizable AI, she does not have a mugshot in-game.
- When attacking the player she is still holding her cupcake.
Errors[]
- Oddly, Nightmare Chica's third row of teeth are missing; this is also the case with Jack-O-Chica. However, this could have been a minor redesign as Nightmare Chica and Jack-O-Chica were not seen with their third row of teeth after UCN.
Five Nights at Freddy's AR: Special Delivery[]
- Nightmare Chica's name was discovered in the game files, presumably hinting that she was an upcoming character for the game.
