Foxy

Foxy is an antagonist in Five Nights at Freddy's. His original location is behind the curtain in Pirate Cove where, if the player looks at the camera too much or too little, he emerges and sprints to the office to attack the player.

Unlike other animatroics in the game, Foxy will hide for a while before coming to attack the player. It is currently unknown as to why Foxy is the only animatronic who hides. There are two theories on why he does this:


 * 1) It is made clear by his appearance that he has fallen in to disrepair (possibly due to his supposed involvement in The Bite of '87) and this may have caused him to become more reclusive.
 * 2) It is clear that large parts of Foxy's endoskeleton are visible (mainly his legs). Phone Guy informs the player that it is against the rules for an endoskeleton to be without a suit; it is possible that the other animatronics would attempt to shove Foxy in to another suit.

Appearance
As his name suggests, he looks like a large animatronic fox with tattered fur. He has a hook on one hand,an eye patch that seems to be sticking up revealing his right eye (keeping to the pirate theme) and wearing brown linen shorts.

He appears to be damaged and broken as parts of his machinery are exposed. His torn chest in places shows the endoskeleton beneath, and his arms and stomach are tattered and torn apart as well. He also appears to have a broken lower jaw, making it that the mouth cannot close properly and has a slightly droopy left eyelid. Upon looking closely, it can clearly be seen that Foxy's legs are completely bare.

Like all the other Fazbear characters, Foxy has a set of teeth. Foxy's teeth, however, are by far the sharpest as they resemble an actual fox's, while the others resemble more human-like dentures.

Locations
Foxy is a very unique character in Five Nights at Freddy's, because unlike the other animatronics, his movement pattern is entirely set - he starts at Pirate Cove, and once he becomes aggressive from either not being watched through the cameras, or being watched too much, he rushes through West Hall. He cannot appear anywhere else.

Behavior
Foxy hides behind his curtain in Pirate Cove throughout the game. Over time, the player must make sure to check on Pirate Cove using the security camera in moderation, as too few or too many viewings of him may trigger his next stage.


 * 1) Initially, he is hidden behind the curtain.
 * 2) The curtain is parted partially, allowing the player to view his face and upper half.
 * 3) He has left from behind the curtain, and is now in front of the camera in shrouded darkness with the only indication of his presence being his glowing eyes and outline.
 * 4) He will precede his attack by leaving a sign in front of the curtain, once reading "Sorry! Out of order!", now reading "It's Me!". Foxy himself is nowhere to be seen within Pirate Cove. If the player checks Cam-2A next, he will be visible sprinting down the corridor and straight towards your office.
 * 5) He has now left Pirate Cove, and has begun to sprint for the player's location. When viewing the West Hall (on Cam-2A), the player may briefly see Foxy running towards the security room. At this point, the player must have either already closed the door, or must close it as quickly as they can, even though they are very unlikely to succeed after having spotted his sprint.
 * 6) If the attempt to block off the left doorway has succeeded, he will bang on the door a few times,then he will reset. If the attempt has failed, Foxy will pop into the left doorway screaming, shaking his body and paws. The screen will then go to static, and show the game over screen. If the player succeeded, the player may then check back on Pirate Cove. He will be behind the curtain again. The player will lose a small portion of his/her remaining power as a result, though, possibly making their night much more difficult.

Trivia

 * It seems that Foxy's eye-patch can cover and uncover his right eye at will. Most likely, it's just rigged to several joints to allow for movement at will. It initially appears to uncover his eye, however, as he enters the Office, it appears to cover his eye. As he screeches, it pulls itself up, exposing his other eye.
 * Upon banging on the closed door after his sprint down the hallway, he will drain a small portion of the player's power.
 * It is theorized that Foxy is the one responsible for The Bite of '87. His broken jaw was probably a result of biting down on a customer, and his sharp teeth make him the most capable of causing serious damage. However, inputting 1987 for the Custom Night mode, a Golden Freddy image pops up, implying that it may not be Foxy at fault.
 * However, it's also worth noting that while rushing down the West Hall towards the Office, his mouth appears to constantly chomp, as if he were biting at nothing.
 * Foxy can be seen on the first night, though only if the player decided to wait idle for a very long period of time. It is now currently confirmed that he can attack on the first night, only if the player is idle, and neglects to check Pirate Cove.
 * Foxy is typically a feminine name, though he's officially referred to as a he by the Phone Guy within the game. "The character in that place is rather unique in that he becomes more active if the cameras remain off for a long period of time. I guess he doesn't like to be watched. I don’t know."
 * He was also referred to as male by Scott, when asked about the mechanics of the game.
 * Foxy leaves immediately upon arriving at a closed door. This may or may not be a bug, as he is gone even before the sound clip of him banging on the door has ended.
 * Foxy leaving immediately is thought to be a bug, though when the player checks Pirate's Cove without looking at the Left Hallway with the camera, if Foxy isn't in Pirate Cove, the player can close the door before triggering his sprint down the hallway.
 * The only time the player can see Foxy during the day is during Night 7's A.I. customization screen. (See table image)
 * Foxy is the only one of the animatronics to have a unique kill screen, as he pops his head through the door as opposed to jumping out in front of the player's face.
 * In the game's files, there is a sound byte referred to as "Pirate_song2. When viewed, this song is actually the "Dum Dum De Dum" song that can be heard several times through out a playthrough. Foxy DOES apparently sing this, as the sound gets louder if the player views Pirate Cove. What triggers him to sing is unknown.
