Nightmare Fredbear

Nightmare Fredbear is the overarching antagonist of Five Nights at Freddy's 4, also making appearances in other Five Nights at Freddy's titles in a minor role.

He is also a boss in Nexed.

Real-World History
Nightmare Fredbear was first teased for Five Nights at Freddy's 4 in June 2015, being seen in a reflection on a checker-patterned floor highlighting his top hat and bowtie. Another teaser later that month would reveal Nightmare Fredbear's torso and lower jaw, albeit in grayscale (presumably to conceal his identity).

Nightmare Fredbear would be fully revealed with the release of Five Nights at Freddy's 4 on July 23rd, 2015, being the game's overarching antagonist. Following this appearance, a chibi-fied version of the character dubbed "Adventure Nightmare Fredbear" would become playable in FNaF World the following year, with the "canon" version of the character appearing in Ultimate Custom Night and Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted.

Gameplay Information
