Bonnie
  • Species: Purple rabbit, red bow tie, guitar
  • First seen: Five Nights at Freddy's, 2014
  • Starts at: the Show Stage, stage left
  • Comes from: the West Hall, left-hand door
  • Tell: the left hall light - if he is there, he is already close
Bonnie is usually the first one to move, which makes him the animatronic most people meet before they understand the game. He leaves the stage on night 1, and by the time you have found the right camera he is already halfway down the west corridor.

Bonnie's route

  • Show Stage, then the Dining Area, then Backstage
  • West Hall, then West Hall Corner, then your doorway
  • He never enters the kitchen and never uses the right door
  • Unlike Freddy, he will stand in the corridor - so the hall light works on him
  • He can also skip the corner entirely and appear at the door directly

Why he catches people out

Bonnie moves more often than anyone else on nights 1 and 2, and he does not follow a tidy path. He can jump backwards through rooms. Checking the left light every twenty seconds costs almost nothing and is the whole defence - the mistake is trusting the camera instead, because he moves the moment you look away from it.

Other versions

  • Toy Bonnie - blue and glossy, arrives through the right vent, not the left hall
  • Withered Bonnie - the old suit with its face missing entirely
  • Shadow Bonnie - a dark silhouette that crashes the game rather than kills you
  • Nightmare Bonnie - the bedroom version, left door, listen before you use the torch
  • Springtrap - technically a rabbit suit too, and the reason the series has a villain

Where you meet Bonnie

  • FNAF 1 — the classic left-door threat
  • FNAF 2 — as Toy Bonnie through the vents, and the withered original
  • FNAF 4 — Nightmare Bonnie, where sound replaces the camera
  • Ultimate Custom Night — several Bonnies at once if you set it up that way)

Bonnie - quick answers

Which door does Bonnie use in FNAF 1?

The left one. He comes down the West Hall and never appears on the right side of the office.

Why does Bonnie move so much?

His AI level starts higher than the others on night 1 and 2. He is meant to be the one who teaches you to check the hall lights.

Is Springtrap the same character as Bonnie?

No. Springtrap is a separate spring-lock suit that happens to be a rabbit. The confusion is deliberate on the developer's part.
