The Phantom Puppet is an antagonist in Five Nights at Freddy's 3 and is one of the six phantom animatronics in the game. He is a hallucination of a burned and damaged Puppet.

Appearance

The Phantom Puppet appears much like his Five Nights at Freddy's 2 incarnation, though his body is charred and his eyes have small white irises, much like the other phantoms. His charred and burnt appearance possibly foreshadows the torching of the attraction.

Locations

The Phantom Puppet appears very briefly in CAM 08 and then appears in The Office depending on whether or not the player changes the Monitor's view before lowering it.

Behavior

Phantom Puppet obscuring the player's view (click to animate).

The Phantom Puppet acts similarly to Phantom Mangle and Phantom Chica, as it only appears on CAM 08 view randomly. If the player views the Phantom Puppet in CAM 08, they are advised to immediately change the monitor's view. If this warning is not exercised, the Phantom Puppet will teleport to The Office and closely stare directly into the player's face, causing a ventilation error and blocking the use of both the Maintenance Panel and the monitor.

Once in the room, the Phantom Puppet cannot be warded off and must leave on his own, which will take approximately 17 seconds. During this period, he allows time for Springtrap to move closer to the player while also leaving the player vulnerable to the other phantoms, especially Phantom Freddy, who may attack, even while the Phantom Puppet is still in The Office.

Trivia

• Unlike the original Puppet, the Phantom Puppet is one of the two phantom animatronics who lacks an official jumpscare, the other being Phantom Mangle.
  • Phantom Puppet is the third antagonist in the entire series to not have a jumpscare, the 2 others being Phantom Mangle and BB.
• Phantom Puppet's actions are very similar to the way it blocks Freddy Fazbear's vision in the cutscene after Night 4 in Five Nights at Freddy's 2.
• Despite appearing burnt in most cases, the Phantom Puppet will retain his original appearance as the Puppet when being viewed from CAM 08.
• If the Phantom Puppet is in The Office when Springtrap is about to kill the player, he will just disappear and Springtrap will jumpscare the player.
  • Because of this fact, along with the fact that it almost entirely obstructs the player's view and prevents use of the Monitor and Maintenance Panel, Phantom Puppet is considered by some the most dangerous phantom animatronic in the game.
• In the Extra menu, Phantom Puppet's name is literally "Phantom Puppet", possibly proving that The Puppet's official name may well be "The Puppet".
