Foxy


Foxy appears to act reserved and shy often hiding behind his curtain in Pirate Cove and singing to pass the time. However he is also very sneaky always waiting for the opportune moment to strike at his victims like waiting at his cove until the night guard isn’t looking then rushing to his office at full speed to kill them. He also uses pirate slang and puns such as “walk the the plank” or “dead men tell no tales” to stay accurate to his role as a pirate.

Foxy is soon shown to be the most sadistic and barbaric animatronic of the original four, taking delight in torturing and terrifying his victims threatening to gouge their eyes out with his hook and laughing at them mockingly to torment them. He is also quite arrogant and overconfident even stating that he is too fast for his victims and claims they would never stand a chance against him. He even once states no one should underestimate his cunning as both a pirate and a fox.

During the early days of Five Nights at Freddy's it was commonly theorized that Foxy was responsible for the Bite of '87 as his jaw is broken, which could be a result of biting down a customer, and his sharp teeth and elongated mouth make him the most capable of serious damage. That also explains why Pirate Cove is closed down, and why Foxy was set aside.

However, after the release of the fourth game, many people believed the culprit was Fredbear after witnessing the Night 5 mini-game. However, it is later confirmed by Scott Cawthon that this was not the Bite of '87, and was the Bite of '83.

Additionally, before the fourth game's release and after the second game's release, a lot of evidence proved that Foxy was not responsible for the bite:

He was kept in the back room along with the other old animatronics in the second game, which would make it hard for him to actually bite someone.
If he actually was responsible for the bite, then all of the old animatronics would've been scrapped for good, but it was the toy animatronics that were scrapped for good due to them possibly malfunctioning.
In addition, in the first game, if you pay attention to the first few frames of Foxy's jumpscare, you can see that his jaw is closed before he opens it, suggesting that he still has control over his jaw, and it's not permanently stuck open.
