The S.T.A.F.F. Bots are employee robots of Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex in Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach.
Physical Appearance
The S.T.A.F.F. bots in a poster.
While all S.T.A.F.F. Bots vary in color scheme depending on their role, they all share the same basic design. A S.T.A.F.F. bots sports a white, ovoid-esque head, with cutouts for two white eyes with black irises; two ovals are placed on the sides of their head. A light gray, pointed decal is placed under each cutout, and a segment runs through the middle of the eye sockets. Their faces also appear to have peach pink blush circles, below their eyes. Their torso is composed of a singular, segmented metal spine, with a chest suit piece, fitted with buttons, covering half of it. The word "STAFF" is painted on the back of the chest piece, and two wires poke out of both sides of the chestpiece's lower half, which connect to their respective arm. Spherical shoulder joints connect the arms to the torso, the upper half of the arms are bare, and while the lower half is covered by a forearm suit piece, the arms end in three-fingered hands. A cylindrical waist connects both halves of the S.T.A.F.F. bot, with lights on the sides. The lower half of the S.T.A.F.F. bot is made up of one singular piece that tapers outwards, ending in two wheels.
Functionality
S.T.A.F.F. bots perform jobs normally done by humans around the Pizzaplex, and can be seen working as waiters, security guards, and janitors. Most of their variants are passive, and will not attempt to hurt the player. However, Alpha S.T.A.F.F. bots will attack the player on contact, while Security Bots will alert nearby animatronics to the player's position by sounding an alarm. Cleaner Bots also alert animatronics, but only if the player gets in the way of the cleaning arm. If there are no hostile animatronics nearby, the alarm may cause one to teleport one near the player.
Types
Security Bots
- Main article: Security Bots
The Security Bots patrol Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex during the night. These S.T.A.F.F. Bots are the most common throughout the game, and follow set patrol routes, occasionally stopping and performing a full turn before resuming their rounds. Should Gregory come within the beam of light, the Security Bot will jumpscare him and sound an alarm, alerting any nearby animatronics to his position. In the Sewers below the Pizzaplex, a withered version of the Security Bot is present, called Sewer Bot in the files.
Map Bots
- Main article: Map Bots
The Map Bots are S.T.A.F.F. bots who are employed to hand out maps to customers. They have a habit of jumpscaring Gregory, though, this will not alert nearby animatronics. Instead, they will follow it up with a request for him to take a map, no longer jumpscaring him on sight.
Mop Bots
- Main article: Mop Bots
The Mop Bots clean up around the Pizzaplex, hence their name. Unlike the other S.T.A.F.F. Bots, they are completely white.
They either stand still or roll around slowly, sweeping or mopping the ground as they do so. If Gregory comes too close to them, they will look at him and signal him to move away. If Gregory get to close to them repeatedly, the Cleaning Bot will sound an alarm, alerting nearby Glamrock Animatronics to his location.
Party Bots
- Main article: Party Bots
The Party Bots are S.T.A.F.F. bots that stand in front of the entrances to certain attractions.
If Gregory has a Party Pass, they will dance around on the spot as the game prompts him to give it to them, and they will promptly disappear after receiving the Party Pass. If Gregory doesn't have a Pass though, they will stop him from entering the attraction they guard.
Alien Bots
- Main article: Alien Bots
The Alien Bots are a unique variation of S.T.A.F.F. bots found exclusively in the Fazer Blast attraction. They wear a green cap with alien-like antennae. They carry standard issue Fazer Blaster laser guns.
Alien Bots will shoot Gregory when he is in range and attempt to destroy any flag captured by him. Alien Bots can be stunned by hitting them with the Fazer Blaster laser gun. Shooting the Alien Bots directly between the eyes will completely destroy them, earning Gregory Fazer Blast game points. Both stunning and destroying the Alien Bots will award Gregory with 10 points each time.
Nightmarionne Bots
- Main article: Nightmarionne S.T.A.F.F. Bots
The Nightmarionne S.T.A.F.F. Bots are the vandalized counterparts of the regular S.T.A.F.F. bots that resemble Nightmarionne, hence their name. They can be seen in the underground and are the only S.T.A.F.F. bots that will directly kill the player, making them the most dangerous staff bot in the game.
Comedy Bot
- Main article: Comedy Bot
The Comedy Bot is a S.T.A.F.F. Bot individual who can be found in the Fazbear Theater, where it will stand on stage and make jokes to the audience, also using hand gestures.
Magician Bot
- Main article: Magician Bot
The Magician Bot is a S.T.A.F.F. Bot dressed in magician's attire complete with a top hat and a red bowtie. A broken version can be seen at the end of the Sewers.
Driver Assist Bots
- Main article: Driver Assist Bots
The Driver Assist Bots are S.T.A.F.F. bots employed to help guests that are too short to drive the Karts in Roxy Raceway. They sport a white color scheme with orange accents, and are immobile, due to being connected to the Kart itself and, thus, entirely lacking a lower half. The second segment of their fingers is colored purple, and the logo for Roxy Raceway is printed on their chestpiece.
The player can find the only Driver Assist Bot on a yellow Kart near the northwest stairs, though it is missing a head which needs to be found and repaired in order for the Bot to function again, thus triggering Roxanne Wolf's boss battle.
Instructor Bot
- Main article: Instructor Bot
The Instructor Bot is a unique S.T.A.F.F. bot that is employed to explain the rules of Fazer Blast. They wear a vest with a lightning bolt with a bow tie printed on it, a cap with bear's ears, and hold a Fazer Blaster.
There is presumably one Fazer Blast bot for each team, but only the orange team’s bot is seen in-game. Their dialogue refers to the opposing team as "the orange-slash-blue team", so they may be a single bot reused between teams.
Pizza Bot
- Main article: Pizza Bot
The Pizza Bot, also called Chef Bot in the files, is a S.T.A.F.F. bot who is employed to make pizzas via the Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex Quick Delivery Virtual System. and is the only S.T.A.F.F. bot variant that can be fully controlled by the player. Gregory uses this to make a pizza to distract Glamrock Chica, who attacks it in the process.
It appears to share its color scheme with the Mop Bots, though it wears a toque and a visibly dirty chef's jacket from the attack.
Attendant Bots
A pair of Attendant Bots, also known as Circus Baby Bots in the files, can be found serving ice cream and other treats at Bonnie Bowl. Other than remaining at the cash aisle, they hardly do much. A broken version of the Attendant Bot can be found at the end of the Sewers as a part of the S.T.A.F.F. Bot family.
Their design and position are loosely based on Circus Baby, in reference to her ice cream-dispensing functionality mentioned in Sister Location.
Nanny Bot
The Nanny Bot is a female S.T.A.F.F. bot dressed like a nanny, with blue hair similar to Ballora. The broken version only appears at the end of the Sewers.
In the files, a fixed version is found but was not used ingame.
Server Bot
The Server Bot is a S.T.A.F.F. bot that is employed to serve food to people. The Server Bot wears a blue, orange and red striped shirt, they also wear a light purple and red cap with a red and blue propeller on it. A broken version can be found at the end of the Sewers.
A fixed model of this bot can be found in the game files, but the broken version can only be seen in the Sewers. In the tech-demo, there were server bots serving meals at El Chip's and wearing a large sombreros, implying that there were originally food delivery variants of S.T.A.F.F. bots.
Worker Bots
The Worker Bots are a type of S.T.A.F.F. bots who serve as constructors for the locations within Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex. The Worker Bots were only seen on posters found from some maintenance and construction sites.
Table Bots

"I was the first! I have seen everything!"
This section archives a lot of theories and speculation, which usually occurs from pre-release media, or just things that are still unknown, so please keep that in mind while reading. The page will continue to be updated with the most accurate information as more solid evidence is supplied. |
The Table Bots are a group of five deactivated S.T.A.F.F. Bots found in the Staffbot Silo from the Sewers. The family consists of the Magician Bot, Nanny Bot, Sales Bot, Attendant Bot, and the headless S.T.A.F.F. Bot. They are theorized to be a reference to a past group of characters, such as The Afton Family or funtime animatronics.
Two common interpretations propose that the Table Bots represent the Afton Family.
- The Ice Cream Attendant Bot represents Elizabeth Afton. The reasoning being that she visibly resembles Circus Baby, the animatronic Elizabeth Afton possessed.
- The Nanny Bot represents the seldom relevant Mrs. Afton. The reasoning being that she visibly resembles Ballora, an animatronic commonly theorized to represent(and possibly even be possessed by) Mrs. Afton.
- Another relevant detail about this bot is that it is placed at the far end of the table, seemingly at the "head," rather than The Magician Bot, who under some interpretations would be William Afton, the man of the house. Some theorists use this detail to argue that the table is not meant to include William Afton in its representation of the Afton Family, but rather display a mother and 4 children, (similar to how Ballora is often shown surrounded by 4 Minireenas) potentially revealing the existence of a 4th Afton child.
- The bot missing its head represents the Crying Child. The reasoning being that it is missing its head, which may be a reference to the Crying Child's head being bitten and damaged in the Bite of 83, at the end of Five Nights at Freddy's 4.
- This is further supported by the existence of another headless bot similar to this one in the utility tunnels. it is lying broken on the ground while 4 intact robots stand upright against it. Likely paralleling the BiteVictim kneeling on the ground surrounded by the 4 mask-wearing teenage bullies in the 6th end-of-night minigame of Five Nights at Freddy's 4.
- There is also another headless bot sitting under a flight of stairs near the room containing a recreation of Michael Afton's room shown in Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location. This may support the conclusion that the Crying Child and Michael Afton are one and the same.
- The Server Bot represents The Foxy-mask-wearing Older Brother, possibly as or as not Michael Afton. The reasoning being that it is placed opposite of who is theorized to be the Crying Child, as well as the large amount of the color red on the bot's design, and lastly a visual similarity to Balloon Boy, who has a close connection to Foxy.
- Another relevant detail of the bot's design is that it is the role of a restaurant worker.(particularly, server, as the filename suggests.) Many theorize this to connect to the possibility of the Older Brother being someone who has worked at Freddy's, such as Michael Afton or Phone Guy.
- A counter-point to the argument is the fact that it does not use the model of a Security Bot suggesting that it might not represent a Night-guard.
- Another relevant detail of the bot's design is that it is the role of a restaurant worker.(particularly, server, as the filename suggests.) Many theorize this to connect to the possibility of the Older Brother being someone who has worked at Freddy's, such as Michael Afton or Phone Guy.
- The Magician Bot is the main difference between these two first interpretations, theorized to represent one of two possible identities.
- The first interpretation is that it represents William Afton. The reasoning being that the outfit it wears appears to be one of high-class, considered befitting of a wealthy English business man like William Afton, and appears to fit the role of a "ring-leader".
- The second interpretation is that it represents a 4th child in the Afton family, seemingly supported by the previously mentioned detail of The Nanny Bot being at the head of the table rather than The Magician Bot.
- This 4th child is further theorized to possibly be the identity of Golden Freddy. The reasoning being that Golden Freddy is one of the characters in the series who wears a Top-hat and bow-tie, as well as a comparison between Golden Freddy often appearing and disappearing completely, even to/from places that are currently impossible to access/leave (such as the Security Office in Five Nights at Freddy's 1 while both of the security doors are closed) and the magic tricks of a Magician, particularly those of the "escape artist" variety.
- This comparison is backed up by a skin for Golden Freddy in Special Delivery called "The Great Escape" that has Golden Freddy bound in a straight-jacket as well as several chains, and appears to have water damage on certain parts of the suit, all three of which are/reference staple elements of an "escape artist" act.
- This interpretation may suggest that the 5th victim of the Missing Children Incident, (likely also known as Cassidy) is a member of the Afton Family.
- This 4th child is further theorized to possibly be the identity of Golden Freddy. The reasoning being that Golden Freddy is one of the characters in the series who wears a Top-hat and bow-tie, as well as a comparison between Golden Freddy often appearing and disappearing completely, even to/from places that are currently impossible to access/leave (such as the Security Office in Five Nights at Freddy's 1 while both of the security doors are closed) and the magic tricks of a Magician, particularly those of the "escape artist" variety.
The third and least common interpretation of the Table Bots suggests that it represents Funtime Animatronics.
- The Ice Cream Attendant Bot represents Circus Baby. The reasoning being a strong visual resemblance.
- The Nanny Bot represents Ballora. The reasoning being a strong visual resemblance.
- The Magician Bot represents Funtime Freddy. The reasoning being that Funtime Freddy wears a Top-hat and bow-tie, and that a common Magician's trick is pulling a rabbit out of their hat, potentially connecting to Funtime Freddy's "Bon-Bon" hand puppet.
- The Server Bot represents Funtime Foxy. The reasoning being a large amount of the color red on the bot's design, and a visible resemblance to Balloon Boy, who has a close connection to Foxy.
- These both, however, only connect to Funtime Foxy via Funtime Foxy being an alternate form of Foxy, as Balloon Boy has no established connection to Funtime Foxy, and Funtime Foxy does not have red in their color-scheme.
- The bot missing its head represents Ennard. The reasoning being the design of the bot being largely gray with slight blue accents, comparable to the metal that makes up most of Ennard's body and the blue eyes attached to their head, and a comparison between the fact that the bot's head is missing and the fact that for most of Sister Location Ennard's mask was located in the Primary Control Module, rather than on their person(s).
Scrapped Bots
- There were some other S.T.A.F.F. bots planned to be added in Security Breach but ended up scrapped or left unused.
- A completely unused yellow S.T.A.F.F. bot variant can also be located in the files.
- A completely unused green Alien Bot can be located in the files.
- A S.T.A.F.F. bot, called Caddy Bot, that was wearing a green apron, green plaid golf caps with a red bulb on top, and carry a green and purple golf-club bag on their back was presumably meant to play a role in Monty's Gator Golf.
- A S.T.A.F.F. bot wearing a light blue shirt with a pink collar, a white apron and a fry cook hat with a white and pink checkered pattern, and pink Pizzaplex logos on the backs of their shirts. They would've likely work in the various Kitchens in the game, this bot is called Fry Cook Bot
- A S.T.A.F.F. Bot colored with a pale blue & dark blue accents. Its torso is black & white striped with pink lines that act as painted-on suspenders, and it's cheeks & wires are also colored pink, this bot is called Mime Bot.

Trivia
- From the tech-demo trailer, there was a normal S.T.A.F.F. Bot working as the attendant at the Bonnie Bowl, which was replaced in the final game.
- "S.T.A.F.F." appears to be an acronym, although it is unknown what it stands for as of yet.
- The S.T.A.F.F. Bots are voiced by "themselves". They are actually voiced via text-to-speech.
- The S.T.A.F.F. Bots' voice is used with Cepstral, a free text-to-speech generator site, or its other counterpart now turned to a mobile app, VoiceForge. The bots use David for their masculine voice, while using Callie for their feminine voice.
- The text-to-speech voice they all share when threatening to suspend Gregory's membership is the only current use of a different text-to-speech service (Google WaveNet) used for various unused dialogue from the S.T.A.F.F. Bots, but was replaced by the voices used in the final release.
