Freddy Fazbear is a fictional character and titular mascot of the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise created by Scott Cawthon.[1]

While multiple variants of Freddy Fazbear exist in the franchise, he is typically depicted as an animatronic brown bear bearing a black top hat and bow tie.

Inspiration edit

Freddy, as well as the other animatronics in Five Nights at Freddy’s, were conceived after Cawthon recieved criticism of the characters in his previous work, Chipper & Sons Lumber Co., where, according to Cawthon, “people said that the main character looked like a scary animatronic animal." Cawthon, though originally dejected from the criticism, then was inspired to create the first Five Nights at Freddy's game, with Freddy bearing a striking resemblance to Chipper.[2]
