** ''Tales From the Pizzaplex'' introduces us to its BigBad in the epilogue storyline in the form of [[spoiler:The Mimic, an endoskeleton originally created by an engineer hired by Fazbear Entertainment named Edwin Murray with an AI that allows it to learn based on what it experiences and mimics it. While it was originally made to entertain Edwin's son while he was working, Edwin later took out his anger on the Mimic when it started acting like his son after her was killed in an accident and violently smashes it to pieces and abandons it in the process. When a team eventually tried to recover it, the Mimic starts killing them due to learning how to be violent from the experience. Later, the Mimic is somehow transported to the FFPS location and is reprogrammed by a technician named Gil to rip off the limbs of the endoskeletons there before it starts doing the same to everyone and has to be sealed up below the Pizzaplex.]]

* DecoyProtagonist: ''Tales From the Pizzaplex'' epilogue storyline starts with a team of Fazbear Entertainment workers sent to try and renovate the FNAF 6 location and focuses on two, a disgruntled technician named Gil who believes he should be on the company's technical team, and Danny, a member of the team who is excited to be there. [[spoiler:While it seems that these two are set up to be the main characters of the epilogue storyline, Gil and almost everyone on the team ends up being killed by The Mimic after Gil reprogrammed it to tear off the limbs of the endoskeletons at the location and Danny escapes and begs other members of the company to seal off the entrance so it couldn't escape. The actual protagonist of the epilogue storyline is Lucia, a high schooler, and her friends who decided to check out the ruins of the FNAF 6 location with them all being killed by The Mimic throughout until Lucia is the only one left alive by the end of the 7th epilogue.]]

** Edwin Murray creating [[spoiler:The Mimic]] to entertain his son while he worked eventually led to events where [[spoiler:Edwin took his grief from his son's death out on The Mimic and infused it with his agony while teaching it about violence. Because of this, when a Fazbear team sent to retrieve everything Edwin abandoned tried to find it, The Mimic started its killing spree.]]
** Gil reprogramming [[spoiler:The Mimic]] to tear off the limbs of the animatronic endoskeletons [[spoiler:at the remains of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place from FFPS leads to it eventually turning on the Fazbear team there and kills almost the entire crew including Gil. The only survivor, Danny, tells the team building the Mega Pizzaplex over the sinkhole it's located in to seal it off as a result. Downplayed, due to later revelations the Mimic was already murderous, though Gil still reactivated it and programmed those particularly brutal methods.]]
** Mr Burrows' decision to replace the entire Pizzaplex creative team with an AI known as "The Storyteller", [[spoiler:who is actually known as Mimic01, the Mimic's AI]], leads to the animatronics starting to act stranger than before. [[spoiler:While he originally believed that it was because Edwin had messed with the AI and trapped him in the Storyteller's Baobab tree in the Pizzaplex which leads to Edwin suffocating and dying, the Mimic was the one that was actually behind it and kills Mr. Burrows as well. While the giant tree the AI was in was later removed from the Pizzaplex, the AI had already infected the animatronics with the implications that it still had some effect on them by the time of ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysSecurityBreach''.]]

Added example(s): "Not Like Other Girls"

Added DiffLines:

* NotLikeOtherGirls: In terms of ''Fazbear Frights,'' it's directly subverted in "Count the Ways," in which [[spoiler:Millie asks Dylan why he would want to date someone who is "blonde and basic," and he calls her out for judging Brooke based on her appearance, despite having never talked to her]]. There's quite a bit of straight examples in ''Tales from the Pizzaplex,'' however:
** In "Frailty," shy and dark-clothed Jessica gets told this word-for-word by Robert.
-->''He smiled. "Like I couldn't tell. You're not like the other girls."''
-->''"I know. I'm not trying to be conceited. I just know that I'm... different. Weird."''
-->''"I wouldn't call you weird. I mean, other girls I've met like to talk about themselves. Sometimes too much. Worry about a lot of drama. You handle things differently, quietly. It's nice."''
-->''Jessica didn't know what to say.''
** In "Nexie," the boy in Astrid's class, Remy, cites this as the reason he has a crush on her in his narration.
-->''Astrid wasn't anything like some of the crybaby girls in the class[...] Unlike the other girls Remy knew, Astrid never acted like she was putting on a show to get attention. She never seemed self-conscious. She didn't flash fake smiles or strike poses. Remy had no doubt that Astrid was exactly what she appeared to be– a smart girl who was happy in her own skin.''
** In the Mimic Epilogues, Lucia is comfortable hanging out around the more feminine Hope, but in the last epilogue reflects that she had never been a mainstream girl, and "had little patience for what most girls liked talking about– endless chatting about clothes and boys. She preferred reading a book to shopping and pretty much everything else."

* TruthInTelevision: "Fetch" deals heavily with the idea of zero-point energy, Random Event Generators, and the ability of human thought to influence them; it also deals heavily with Cleve Backster, a CIA interrogation specialist who allegedly used a polygraph to prove that plants can sense human thoughts. These are all referring to real concepts that have been at least considered by scientists over the years, with Cleve Backster's experiments really occurring as detailed (although in real life his theories have long since been debunked by the greater scientific community).

** ''B7-2'': "B7-2" has B-7 itself- specifically, an entity formed by Billy's agony that possesses the robotic parts separated from Billy. It's determined to merge with him...[[spoiler: or anyone it can, as shown by the ending]]. "Alone Together" has [[spoiler: NoAntagonist, with the hauntings Travis experiences throughout the story being a result of him being dead due to a tragic accident]]. Ending the series off, "Dittophobia" has [[spoiler: the Nightmare animatronics until they're revealed to be harmless mannequins wearing costumes. The GreaterScopeVillain is William Afton- while he's not present, he's the one who captured Rory and other children for experiments, and the recording of his voice he left behind had prevented Rory from leaving likely dozens of times.]]

The ending of the story where Rory returns to the experiment and the tape reminds itself also heavily indicate that Rory might actually be the dead body that was found in the vents of the facility before Sister Location began.]]

** ''Somniphobia'': The titular story sees the Moon form of the Daycare Attendant (referred to as Moondrop for the first time) as the antagonist, albeit a holographic version of him in a toy. ''Pressure'' has a Pizzaplex employee named Earl, who is implied to have brought the springlock suit our protagonist is being killed by to imitate Afton. Finally, ''Cleithrophobia'' has a new version of Ballora designed to help children stuck in a Pizzaplex tube maze, who unintentionally pulls the protagonist apart.
** ''Submechanophobia'': While the Fantasy Water Park animatronics of ''Submechanophobia'' serve as threats, the waterpark's owner Martin Copper is the reason they're haunted in the first place...and he'll do anything to cover it up while disguised as the "Frank the Diver" animatronic. ''Animatronic Apocalypse'' has the school's principal Mr Renner, though it's implied something else may have corrupted him. ''Bobbiedots, Part 1'' features the First Generation Bobbiedots, robotic versions of the current holographic assistants, who are a wee bit bitter about being replaced.
