Across the mainline Five Nights at Freddy's games there are around 60 distinct animatronics, and well over 100 once you count every skin, variant and DLC model. They are easiest to keep straight by game, because each entry in the series introduces its own set and then reuses older ones as withered, phantom or nightmare versions. Below is the full roster in release order. For character profiles and lore, see the main FNAF characters list.
FNAF 1 (2014) — the original five
- Freddy Fazbear — the bear frontman, attacks last and only in the dark
- Bonnie — the purple bunny guitarist, the most aggressive of the four
- Chica — the chicken with the Let's Eat bib and the Cupcake
- Foxy — the pirate fox in Pirate Cove, the only one who sprints
- Golden Freddy — the hidden fifth, a hallucination rather than a machine
FNAF 2 (2014) — the Toys and the Withereds
- Toy Freddy, Toy Bonnie, Toy Chica — the glossy replacements with facial recognition
- Mangle — Toy Foxy, torn apart and rebuilt by children into a tangle of parts

FNAF: Help Wanted (2019) and Help Wanted 2
Help Wanted is a virtual reality collection of minigames, so it reuses the rosters above — the original four and Golden Freddy, the Toys, the Withereds, Springtrap and the Funtimes all return in VR form. Its single new character is Glitchtrap, the digital remnant of William Afton hidden in the game's code, who corrupts the player and later possesses Vanessa. Help Wanted 2 adds the Mimic and a set of Pizzaplex mascots.
FNAF: Security Breach (2021) — the Glamrocks
- Glamrock Freddy — the only animatronic on your side, who hides Gregory in his chest cavity
- Glamrock Chica — the bassist, driven by hunger to search the bins
- Montgomery Gator — Monty, the alligator who replaced Bonnie on guitar
- Roxanne Wolf — Roxy, the racer with mirror obsession and heat-vision eyes
- Vanny — the human in a rabbit costume, Vanessa under Glitchtrap's control
- DJ Music Man, Moondrop and Sundrop, the Daycare Attendant, Map Bot, S.T.A.F.F. bots — the Pizzaplex support cast
- The Blob and Burntrap — the endings' final forms
- Ruin DLC — Cassie, Roxy in ruined form, and the Mimic
FNAF characters that are not animatronics
Not every name in the series is a machine. The night guards — Mike Schmidt, Jeremy Fitzgerald, Fritz Smith and Vanessa — are human, as are Phone Guy, the children Gregory and Cassie, and the Afton family: William Afton, Michael Afton, Elizabeth Afton and the Crying Child. Glitchtrap is software rather than hardware. Afton and Elizabeth both end up inside animatronics — as Springtrap and Circus Baby — which is why the human and animatronic rosters overlap.
