Attachment In a 2018 interview with YouTuber Dawko, Scott Cawthon was asked how he came up with the original designs of the animatronics. Cawthon answered with:

"The main 3 characters Freddy, Bonnie, and Chica. Those designs just kind of [...] I didn't really plan ahead like what animals they should be. Those three just kind of seemed natural to me for some reason. You know, the only one I really struggled with was trying to think of the fourth character. [...] I'm trying to remember all the options that I'd originally was kind of debating between. I mean, one of the contenders was a fox obviously which ended up winning. The other one was a wolf, and the other one was going to be a beaver. But then later I decided against that, because I thought that was too on-the-nose from Chipper so I decided against that."

In the main office, you can see a poster on the wall directly in front of you that says "Celebrate!". Clicking on Freddy's nose on the poster will make a honking noise. This does not affect the game at all, and is just there for fun.

Setting the levels of the AI to 1/9/8/7 on the custom 7th night will cause Golden Freddy to appear automatically in your office. This was likely added to prank players, as a number of rumors were spreading around of a supposed 1987 mode.

The image it displays is random, but once in a while it shows a close up of a golden-coloured Freddy Fazbear.

If the player does not change camera to a different room, Golden Freddy's face will attack the player and crash the game.
