Springtrap

Springtrap's History

Springtrap is the main antagonist and only physical animatronic featured in Five Nights at Freddy's 3. It is the alias of William Afton, the main antagonist and serial murderer of the Five Nights at Freddy's story, is trapped inside Springtrap, having his body punctured by animatronic parts following a springlock failure in the Safe Room.

Springtrap is a withered, decayed Spring Bonnie suit, in which William Afton died, his soul becoming trapped. Springtrap was left trapped within the Safe Room for the better part of 30 years, until he was retrieved by the crew of Fazbear's Fright, who were looking for an intact animatronic. On the second night of the Fright guard's shift, Springtrap was put within Fazbear's Fright, and after so long, began hunting after the guard. However, despite retaining Afton's cunning, the animatronic was still limited by it's programming, and was able to be lured away by Balloon Boy's laughter. After the guard's sixth Night, Fazbear's Fright was burned down, perhaps as an effort to kill Springtrap, although he could be seen in the darkness of the subsequent newspaper photo.
