5 FNAF Characters That Need Their Own Games/Spin-Offs

by

The Five Nights at Freddy’s series has gained notoriety for introducing bizarre yet frightening characters over the last ten years. Some of these animatronics are found within the main video games, while others are hinted at in other media such as the Tales From the Pizzaplex series and various spin-offs. The lore of FNAF goes much deeper than it initially appears, making the prospect of introducing new animatronics even more thrilling. With the Five Nights at Freddy’s franchise set to release “Secret of the Mimic” in June and the “FNAF 2” movie in December, fans can look forward to seeing both familiar and new characters appearing in the near future. In honor of this, we’ve put together a list showcasing five FNAF characters that deserve their own games.

Within the FNAF universe, there are more than 161 distinct characters, some of which have brief cameos in mini-games or mainline games. While these five characters represent just a fraction of what the series has introduced, they’ve piqued our interest due to their intriguing backstories.

Daycare Assistant (Sun & Moon/Eclipse)

Among the most unsettling characters emerging from “Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach” is one we encountered while investigating the playground within Freddy Fazbear’s Mega Pizzaplex. Dressed like a jester and exhibiting two distinct personas, this character, known as the Daycare Assistant, experiences such a drastic shift in demeanor that it’s almost day and night, figuratively speaking. Given the complexity of characters within the FNAF universe, the dual nature of Sun & Moon is quite remarkable. The transformation between these two personalities could offer an engaging twist to the gameplay dynamics and introduce depth to a new animatronic character. With the gameplay being a significant appeal for many fans in “Security Breach”, the Daycare Assistant would make an intriguing figure to delve deeper into within its spin-off title.

Stitchwraith

If you’re absolutely hooked on the FNAF series, then you’re well aware that Stitchwraith is one of those characters who deserves its own standalone game or main installment. Originating as an Easter Egg in Five Nights at Freddy’s: Into the Pit, this animatronic was further developed by Dr. Phineas Taggart in the Fazbear Frights epilogue, Stitchwraith Stingers. Since the games haven’t delved into detective mysteries before, a game in this genre could offer a fresh and engaging experience within the FNAF universe, particularly when it comes to solving the enigma surrounding Stitchwraith. The character is quite intriguing, as it carries the soul of William Afton, so tying the game’s narrative to the series’ existing storyline wouldn’t be too complicated.

The Puppet (Marionnette)

In my gaming adventures with Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, there’s one character that sent chills down my spine – the mastermind behind the scenes, the Puppet. With a captivating backstory rooted in the Fazbear’s Pizzeria of 1987 as the presumed prize vendor, this character is brimming with potential for a spin-off. Imagining a glimpse into the Bite of ’87 and uncovering the Puppet’s origins sounds like an intriguing journey, offering insights into life during that fateful period and shedding light on how the Puppet came to be.

From the perspective of the Puppet serving as the main adversary, there’s some ambiguity due to its original intent not being harmful towards others. This opens up an intriguing possibility: the Puppet could become the protagonist in a prequel spin-off, working to thwart William Afton. Although the character’s history has already unfolded, exploring a significant event in their existence could lead to a heartwarmingly frightening narrative about a tormented spirit.

Funtime Freddy

In the world of Five Nights at Freddy’s, it’s not common for characters to take on antagonistic roles, but in Sister Location, the night manager seemed more like the villain. Why not delve into a unique experience by tormenting the Afton family using Funtime Freddy? With its cheerful exterior, Funtime Freddy could create an intriguing twist within the psychological horror genre. This character has a hidden dark side that could be explored in depth through a dedicated game.

As a dedicated gamer, I’ve always found the eerie and unpredictable nature of Freddy to be intriguing, adding a unique charm to the idea of playing an anti-hero. The depth of these animatronics is something that has been hinted at, but it’s their personal perspective that truly captivates me. It’s high time for Funtime Freddy to step out of the shadows and take center stage as the protagonist. After all, every antagonist deserves a chance to tell his side of the story.

Lemonade Clown

In the world of Fazbear Entertainment, I’ve noticed how each character has had their moment under the limelight, whether as a main or supporting role. The chilling duo, the Juice Fountain Clowns, have only made appearances in Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria Simulator and Help Wanted 2, but their ominous presence remains unexplored. Among them, the Lemonade Clown stands out as a peculiar character, not just because of its task to serve lemonade, but due to the eerie vibe it emanates. Yes, it might sound absurd that a character in this series is associated with such a mundane task, but remember, nothing in FNAF is by mere chance.

The unsettling aura of Lemonade Clown makes me believe it could make an excellent antagonist for a spin-off game. In fact, a title focusing on the vendor bots could serve as an ideal platform to delve deeper into this character’s mysterious background. The FNAF community holds the Lemonade Clown in high regard, so revealing more about its story could bring forth a character that has been waiting in the wings for their moment in the spotlight.

In the game “Secret of the Mimic”, there are still numerous animatronics we haven’t encountered yet. However, the FNAF lore never overlooks those who have appeared before. Each of these characters is terrifying in their unique ways, which makes the prospect of a new gaming adventure even more intriguing. Given that Mimic has had its chance, it’s now thrilling to imagine an established character taking center stage once again.
