The Animatronics are the central antagonists of the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise.
They are the main antagonists of Five Nights at Freddy's, Five Nights at Freddy's 2, Five Nights at Freddy's 4, Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location and Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator, the posthumous main antagonists of Five Nights at Freddy's 3 and Five Nights at Freddy's VR: Help Wanted, and the secondary antagonists of Five Nights at Freddy's AR: Special Delivery.
In the spin-offs FNAF World and Freddy in Space 2, they are the main protagonists, and in another spin-off, Ultimate Custom Night, they are the main antagonists.
As their name suggests, they are robotic animals or humanoids created by Fazbear Entertainment and Afton Robotics to entertain children at pizzerias and fast-food restaurants. They come in many different forms.
Most of the animatronics, particularly the classic ones, are haunted by the ghosts of children murdered and stuffed into the mascot suits by the serial killer William Afton. In their pursuit of vengeance against him they became extremely aggressive towards adults, outright attacking those still at the pizzeria after nightfall with intent to kill. William himself would eventually share their fate, only to become something far worse than his victims.
In the current point of the timeline, the number of existing animatronics is bigger than ever before, thanks to things like the gigantic Freddy Fazbear's Mega PizzaPlex and the Fazbear Funtime Service.

Classic/Withered Animatronics
The second animatronics to be made, these have basic designs, exoskeletons made out of plastic with a furry texture, and very few enhancements. Excluding the Puppet, they were also known as Withered animatronics when they fell into disrepair after the first Freddy Fazbear's was closed. The Withered ones were eventually repaired and reused for another Freddy's, but left to rot when that restaurant also shut down. Thirty years later, their parts and suits were found and used as props for the Fazbear's Fright horror attraction after being destroyed by William Afton. The few props that survived when Fazbear's Fright burned down were sold on an auction. The Puppet, meanwhile, got captured by Lefty and incinerated alongside Springtrap and the Funtime animatronics. All five of the animatronics are possessed by William's victims, seeking to avenge their deaths.
Springlock Animatronics/Suits
The first animatronics created by Henry Emily and William Afton, these animatronics have springlocks that clamp the endoskeleton parts to the sides of the costume, allowing to be worn by performers. Actually using them as suits was very dangerous however, since the springlocks were very sensitive and could by easily set off, causing the parts to snap back into place and mutilating or even killing the wearer. They were mainly used in Fredbear's Family Diner, before an accident made them be deemed too dangerous and were discontinued. While the fate of the Fredbear suits remains unknown, one of the Spring Bonnie suits eventually claimed Afton as a victim, but the man possessed the robot and became Springtrap, and later Scraptrap. Scraptrap was lured into a trap and destroyed alongside his creations and the Puppet.

- Spring Bonnie (later Springtrap/Scraptrap)
Shadow Animatronics
Mysterious ghosts which are connected to things like Remnant, agony and rage, and possibly other things. While Shadow Bonnie helped in setting the souls free, Shadow Freddy seems to be evil and was shown helping William Afton.

Toy Animatronics
These animatronics were created to replace the classic animatronics when Freddy Fazbear's Pizza had its grand reopening, but have more cutesy and cartoonish designs and suits made completely out of plastic. They also have built-in criminal detection software linked to a criminal database, allowing them to detect felons such as William Afton. The Toy animatronics were scrapped when said facial recognition software was messed with and the pizzeria had to close down again after a few weeks. It is unknown if the Toy animatronics are possessed or not.
Phantom Animatronics
These animatronics are ghostly hallucinations who lurk the halls of "Fazbear's Fright: The Horror Attraction", able to cause malfunctions to the equipment in the building. Their fate remains unknown after Fazbear's Fright burned down, but they weren't seen again so it can be presumed they disappeared. While they are treated as hallucinations in-game, some fans speculate that they are souls after leaving their bodies or something else entirely.
Nightmare Animatronics
These animatronic are monstrous and terrifying, featuring protruding wires, cracked and broken suits and multiple rows of sharp teeth. Although some details hint at them being something more sinister, they are widely considered to be just what their name suggests, nightmares haunting the dreams of the unnamed protagonist, most likely Michael Afton. Assuming this is true, they aren't real. Jack-O-Bonnie, Jack-O-Chica, Nightmarionne and Nightmare Mangle are special cases, seeing as they weren't haunting any dreams; They are literal video game characters in-universe. Another one of the animatronics, Nightmare, is connected to Shadow Freddy, which might mean he's more sinister than everyone else.

Funtime Animatronics
These animatronics were the stars of Circus Baby's Entertainment & Rental, created by Afton Robotics, LLC. They are clown-like robots which have opening faceplates, wire endoskeletons, and are made out of metal. They were specifically built and programmed to kill and abduct children for William. The first four gained a degree of sentience and escaped the underground facility with the "help" of Afton's son, Michael, as Ennard. Those four robots were eventually lured into a trap and destoyed alongside their creator. Circus Baby is possessed by Elizabeth Afton, William's daughter, but it's unknown if the others are possessed as well. Bonnet is a literal video game character in-universe, like some of the previously mentioned Nightmare animatronics.

Mediocre Melodies
These animatronics are presumably cheap bootlegs of Fazbear Entertainment's animatronics. They are made out of coloured plastic and require car batteries connected by cables to be powered. Alongside El Chip and possibly Music Man, they are the only animatronics not be made by either Fazbear Entertainment or Afton Robotics, LLC.
Rockstar Animatronics
Animatronics made in the image of the classics, these animatronics have sleeker proportions and plastic suits instead of, designed to look like rock stars, hence the name. Like the Mediocre Melodies and Trash and the Gang, they are purchasable items in Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator, but take on antagonistic roles in Ultimate Custom Night. Lefty was created to capture the Puppet inside himself, while some scrapped information from Five Nights at Freddy's AR: Special Delivery reveals that the remaining four were created out of the remains of the Classics.
Twisted Animatronics
Similarly to the Nightmare animatronics, these animatronics are supernatural and nightmarish in appearance, as well as organic features and growths all over their bodies. The Twisted Ones each have sharp claws and stomach containers that allow them to kidnap even adults. Also created and used as servants by William Afton, they use illusion discs to give themselves their appearances and abilities. They only appear in the Novel Trilogy, and therefore all of them are non-canon.

Glamrock Animatronics
These animatronics will appear in the upcoming Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach, and are thus the newest animatronics developed. Similarly to the Rockstar animatronics, they are all built to have glamrock designs, excluding Moondrop. One of them, Glamrock Freddy, seems to be a heroic character helping the child Gregory. However, the other three Glamrocks and Moondrop are shown to be hunting Gregory. The morality of the other robots is unknown.
