Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, the 2014 sequel to the breakout hit horror game, introduces a whole new host of animatronics to the original cast. A new line of animatronics, alongside the original gang of Five Nights at Freddy’s, forces to keep a very unfortunate security guard on his toes until five (or seven) nights have ed.

The two main groups are the Toy and the Withered animatronics, each of which has their own version of Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy. They’re ed by new animatronics like the Marionette and Balloon Boy, who each bring their own type of fear to the point-and-click horror game. With double the animatronics on the loose, some stick out in of scariness much more than their counterparts.

11 Balloon Boy

Just A Boy With A Sign

First and foremost of all the animatronics, Balloon Boy is just not scary. A little boy with a striped shirt and big blue eyes holding a sign and saying “Hi!”, Balloon Boy is not much of an antagonist. Balloon Boy never directly attacks the player, though he can hinder gameplay, which makes him more annoying than threatening, especially in the earlier nights of the game.

Since Balloon Boy is a Toy animatronic, he is clean and new. He lacks that worn-down, broken look that adds so much to the earlier animatronics. While Balloon Boy is very polite with his “Hello!”, he doesn’t make a very frightening foe.

10 Toy Freddy

The Most Basic Toy Animatronic

The new generation of animatronics for this game are the Toy line. Shinier, smoother, and with rosier cheeks, the Toy animatronics are the updated version of the original gang. Toy Freddy is the leader of the new pack, but this version of Freddy doesn’t pack the same punch as the previous one.

The one improvement that Toy Freddy has is in his eyes, as they turn entirely black and pupil-less when facing the security guard’s desk. Even Toy Freddy's poses are less scary than the other animatronics, as he looks around at the security guard with more curiosity than menace. It's believed the Five Nights At Freddy's 2 movie will feature Toy animatronics like the second game.

9 Toy Bonnie

Bonnie's Least Scary Appearance

Shiny and new, Toy Bonnie is the updated version of Bonnie in Five Nights at Freddy’s 2. When compared to the other Bonnie present in this game, Toy Bonnie is not nearly as creepy.

The bright colors and shiny texture, which all of the Toy animatronics unfortunately have, don’t give the same uncanny and realistic look that the older animatronics had. However, Toy Bonnie’s wide-eyed stare does place him above Toy Freddy in of scariness.

8 Withered Foxy

Almost The Same As The First Game

Of all the Withered animatronics, Foxy is the least scary, but still ranks above some of the new Toy animatronics. Foxy is largely unchanged from the first game, as his appearance was already slightly dilapidated.

What makes this version of Foxy extra scary is that he is one of only two animatronics that is not tricked by the fake Freddy mask worn by the security guard. Instead, the only way to scare off Withered Foxy is to shine a flashlight down the hall whenever he makes an appearance. Watch the jumpscare in the video above from Popcorn Colonel.

7 Withered Freddy

A More Active, But Largely Similar Freddy

If it’s not broken, don’t fix it. That goes for Withered Freddy, as of all the Withered animatronics, Freddy is the least changed from his previous appearance. This version of the titular animatronic is slightly dirtier and ripped, but looks and acts the same as the first game which is still a good thing since he was the scariest animatronic in Five Nights at Freddy's.

The main difference is that this Freddy makes more frequent appearances in the earlier nights of the game, which somehow makes him less scary than before since his appearance has less weight to it. He still ranks above his Toy version in of scariness due entirely to his pose in front of the security desk with his hand reached out like he’s just about to try removing the fake Freddy mask from the guard’s head.

6 Withered Golden Freddy

It's Me (And I Don't Need To Change)

Golden Freddy has always haunted Fazbear Entertainment, but the sequel shows an even worse-off version of the suit. Withered Golden Freddy sits in a similar position to the first game, his ear missing, wires sticking out of every hole, and splattered blood all over his fur.

This version of Golden Freddy is not much different from his appearance in Five Nights at Freddy’s, but the haunting presence the empty suit has over both games makes him always one of the scarier characters in any Five Nights at Freddy’s game. Check out the video above from Jaze Cinema, with added voice lines.

5 Toy Chica

Less Is More In Of Mouths

While Bonnie was the scariest of the original gang, Toy Chica is undoubtedly the scariest of the Toy line. Toy Chica’s beak is removable, which reveals the endoskeleton mouth underneath, and gives her the appearance of an empty smile.

On top of her missing beak is the entirely black eyes that Toy Chica has while she stalks the security guard throughout the game. Toy Chica has the most unsettling appearance of all the Toy animatronics, but her older counterpart still beats her out even in the creepy mouth department.

4 Mangle

A Monster Of Parts

What used to be a version of a Toy Foxy is the Mangle. An amalgamation of parts and wires, the Mangle is a monster and the only Toy animatronic to be in as bad a state as the Withered animatronics. Children have taken apart and rebuilt Mangle since the restaurant opened, giving this animatronic their unique look.

Since Mangle has a few more arms and legs than the other animatronics, they crawl around on every surface of the building while a garbled radio signal emits from somewhere in their body. Mangle’s appearance is terrifying enough, but their behavior and sound design makes them one of the scarier animatronics in the game. Popcorn Colonel clipped Mangle's attack, above.

3 Withered Chica

Chica's Best Feature Is Always Her Mouth

Unlike her appearance in the first Five Nights at Freddy’s, which included a heavy-lidded stare right up at the camera, this Chica has no eyelids. She has no hands. She does, however, have a very large mouth that hangs open as she stares directly at the player from the middle of the screen. The “Let’s Eat!!!” bib Chica has always worn, which seemed like a cute touch in the first game, becomes much more threatening as Chica’s slack jaw has expanded into a gaping maw with an endoskeleton mouth underneath.

This version of Chica seems larger than ever before, which gives her a very imposing look as she T-Poses over the security guard and asserts her dominance. Chica is not only one of the scariest characters in Five Nights at Freddy's 2, but one of the scariest in the entire franchise of games. Watch the scare from Geminids, above.

2 Marionette

An Enemy Best Kept Locked Away

The Marionette, or the Puppet, is an icon of Five Nights at Freddy’s 2. This monstrous jack-in-the-box features as one of the core gameplay mechanics, as players must constantly keep a remote music box playing to prevent an instant game over. The relatively simple design of the Marionette, with its white mask, tear stains, and black smile, alongside its behavior and in-game description from the phone guy makes it a much scarier foe than the other more active animatronics.

What makes the Marionette even more frightening than the other Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 enemies is how little you see it. The various Freddys, Bonnies, and Chicas appear frequently throughout the nights while the Puppet only makes an appearance when everything has gone wrong. Phone Guy’s description of the Puppet is enough to alert players to its unique danger. He says “It was always... thinking, and it can go anywhere.” Trying in vain to forever stop the music box from reaching its final tune adds to the constant stress of Five Nights at Freddy’s 2. The jumpscare can be seen above, thanks to Geminids.
