YMMV / AIEchidna's Five Nights at Freddy's

• Adorkable:
  • Bonnie the Bunny falls into this often due to his Lovable Coward status.
  • Sparky the Dog also falls into this because of his innocence and overall care for most things, being more dog then sentient animatronic.
• Complete Monster: Freddy Fazbear is reimagined as a sapient animatronic that kills night guards to satisfy his own bloodlust, while pretending to be friendly and kind during the day. In the prequel "Beginnings", after accidentally killing a night guard, Freddy gains a murderous desire and forced his bandmates to kill night guards to him, resulting in dozen of deaths and the shutdown of the first Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. Later, Freddy faked remorse to brutally kill Sparky when the latter let his guard down. Introduced during Night 4 of "Withered", Freddy captures Jeremy, killing him with a springlock suit; taunts Fritz—aka Michael Afton—about his brother Evan's death; and eventually stages the Bite of '87, resulting into the Toys being scrapped and the shutdown of the restaurant. Refurbished into the new restaurant, Freddy captured Kyle—the Phone Guy—to torture him for an entire week; tries to kill Michael; abuses his bandmates each night, even crushing Bonnie's muzzle when the latter tried to stand up against him; causes a power outage during Night 6; and frames Michael for Kyle's death, causing the latter to be arrested. Reactivated years later when Tracy and her friends snuck into the abandoned building, Freddy torments them and tries to kill them, succeeding at killing Tracy's young brother Aaron by breaking his neck, claiming "[her] lack of determination was pitiful" when she mourns him.
• Crack Pairing: Nightmare, the symbol of Death itself, and... Freddy Fazbear, a homicidal robot, even though both sides don't like each other in canon.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: One of the more infamous bits about this series is William Afton's Demoted to Dragon status in favor of Freddy's Adaptational Villainy. While Afton is still as evil as ever (even getting his own short story inbetween Refurbished and Springlocked), he is only a prominent threat in Springlocked, to which he is killed by the Fazbear Fright's burning, which he had survived in the original. However, Beginnings shows what Afton had been doing from post-Nightmare to before the events of Refurbished.
