“ | What a gift to relish, a victim that can't perish. | „ |

Nightmare Freddy is a major antagonist in the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise. He was the nightmare form of Freddy Fazbear created by William Afton to torment children for his experiments, as revealed in Dittophobia.
He is voiced by Tim Simmons, who also voiced Wilson Arch in Bendy and The Dark Revival.
Appearance[]
Unlike his previous appearances, Nightmare Freddy seems completely damaged and more vicious looking. He has two sets of sharp teeth and his fingers end with sharp claws. Three small Freddles with sharp teeth are on Nightmare Freddy's chest. He wears a black top hat with visible wires coming out of it and a black bow tie.
Biography[]
Five Night's at Freddy's 4[]
Freddy's minions, officially called Freddles, begin appearing on Michael Afton's bed whenever the child no longer checks the bed.
The player must prevent the Freddles from staying on the bed by flashing the light at them, or they summon Nightmare Freddy, who jumps out from under the bed, and instantly kills the player.
Ultimate Custom Night[]
Nightmare Freddy appears in Ultimate Custom Night. He will be summoned to the Office if too many Freddles appear in there. Shine the flashlight on the Freddles to scare them off and prevent Nightmare Freddy from appearing.
Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted[]
Curse of Dreadbear[]
Nightmare Freddy appears in the Hallway Crawl level. He will start chasing the player from behind him, and there's no way he can be stopped, so the only way to prevent his attack is keep going forward fast enough to not be reached and only stopping when absolutely necessary.
Dittophobia[]
Rory, a seven year old child, is haunted by the nightmare animatronics in Obsv. 2 (the house seen in Five Nights at Freddy's 4). Rory is forced to deal with the nightmare animatronics similarly to the FNaF 4 protagonist, the nightmare coming to an abrupt halt when Nightmare Freddy attacks the boy.
Eventually, however, Rory learns that, along with the house he resided in being rotted and worn down, that the nightmare animatronics were simply plastic mannequins in costumes, the hallucinatory gas being the cause of their more grisly appearance. It's also revealed that the Nightmares were actually tests performed on children, used to study the child's fear (presumably being caused by William Afton).
Later, after being manipulated by a middle-aged voice into staying where he is, Rory ends up repairing the gas tanks and plugging back in the dispenser. In an instant, he forgets everything and gets ready for bed, presumably allowing the nightmare experiment to continue.
Personality[]
Possibly representing one of the Big Brother's friends, Nightmare Freddy is a scary and vicious animatronic whose sole purpose is to scare and violently kill the protagonist within his nightmarish dreams. He likes to torments the protagonist with his Freddles.
