Springtrap
Originally Introduced in: Five Nights at Freddy's: The Silver Eyes as a non possessed suit. Gains sentience in The Ghosts of Our Fathers
When Charlie triggered the Spring-Bonnie suit's spring-lock mechanisms and killed William Afton, she assumed that was the end of the man who ruined her childhood. But in reality, she'd only created a monster born from the broken remains of Afton's soul and fused together with the suit that serves as his tomb.
- Adaptation Name Change: Has yet to be called Springtrap in the story and most likely never will be.
- Artificial Zombie: Subverted as, by all indications, there's little to nothing left of William Afton inside of the animatronic aside from a few bits of bone that come out of his head when Arty attacks him.
- Berserk Button: Although it can't feel pain in the same way as a normal human, harming Springtrap in any way is the fastest path to getting on his bad side.
- Big Bad: Although he's yet to take center stage like his canonical counterpart, Springtrap's actions are what drive the overall narrative.
- Decomposite Character: Although he contains the soul of William Afton as per both the games and books, Springtrap lacks any trace of Afton's personality. Often acting more akin to an intelligent animal than a human being in a suit.
- Hair-Trigger Temper: If provoked Springtrap will fly into an almost uncontrollable rage. something that Arty and later Charlie discovered the hard way.
- Haunted Technology: Par for the course with Springtrap.
- It Can Think: Although he lack's the full power of Afton's mind, this version of Springtrap is capable of figuring out how to stay alive in his current situation.
- Monochromatic Eyes: Springtrap's eyes are said to be colored an almost cartoonish white and black unlike his green-yellow irises from the game.
- Slasher Smile: One of the most prominent features of the Spring-Bonnie costume is its infamous grin.
- Soul Fragment: Has only a few noticeable bits of Afton's memory and personality.
- Soul Jar: Effectively acts as this for William Afton's soul, though the soul is the only thing he actually shares in common with the now-deceased serial killer.
The Puppet.
A mysterious animatronic that was found hidden amongst the spare suits in the original Freddy's location that Charlie finds herself strangely attracted to. Although it doesn't move like the others, it seems to have a mind of its own.
- Ghostly Goals: Wants to be free just like the other souls, and it doesn't care how it achieves that goal.
- Go Madfromthe Isolation: Spent a little under fifteen years stuck inside its gift box, and that time alone hasn't done much good to it.
- Vengeful Ghost: The Puppet was locked in a box inside Henry's office when the Pizzeria was abandoned. It's hard not to see why it's so pissed off.
