Golden Freddy

Golden Freddy will be summoned if the player stares at the poster. A girl's laughter will be heard and if you look back at the room, you will see an empty costume.If Golden Freddy appears, he will kill you and crash the game after a few seconds watching motionlessly the player, while the guard experiences macabre hallucinations. However, if you look back at the camera he will go away.

He is easier to summon on Night 1 and during the Custom Nights if all settings are set to 0, and will crash your game with the input of 1/9/8/7 too. There are rare chances you will see him on Nights 3 and 5 without summoning him.

In the prequel, Golden Freddy can be glimpsed on a number of posters drawn by children.

Golden Freddy can appear on Night 6, and even possibly Night 7 (depending if his A.I. is disabled). Golden Freddy can teleport into the Office, sitting there, and if the player manages to put on the mask, he'll vanish.

He can also go into the hallway where his floating giant head is. To stop him, the player must put up the monitor, or don the Freddy head. If the giant head is flashed at, Golden Freddy will attack, and end the night.

Golden Freddy appears the minigames, one of which further hints that he was the mascot of the original restaurant, Fredbear's Family Diner, along with Spring Bonnie. In the final minigame where the player, as the child possessing the Puppet, and the spirits inhabiting Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy greet him and offer him a cake (presumably to make up for putting him in Fredbear's mouth, if they are the teenagers that instigated the Bite of '83).

The fifth child's eyes widen, and he equips the mask of Golden Freddy, accepts this offering, and with this, he and the other children finally ascend to the afterlife (it is also possible it is his head that is glowing in the background of the bad ending).

It is speculated in the fourth game, that Golden Freddy was the original Fredbear, and the one who caused the Bite of '83, during a child's birthday party. When bullies wearing the masks of the animatronics from the first game came to terrorize the boy, the group, deciding to prank the child, grabbed him and try to get him close into the mouth of Fredbear for a "kiss" and end up stuffing the player's head into the mouth of Fredbear. Suddenly, Fredbear forcefully closes his mouth, resulting to the child's head being crushed and losing his frontal lobe. This incident causes the location to shut down, and Fredbear and Spring Bonnie are decommissioned, causing Fredbear to no longer be worn as a spring lock suit. It's also impiled that the child ends up haunting Golden Freddy after his death.
