Phantom Mangle

Phantom Mangle is a secondary antagonist in Five Nights at Freddy's 3 and one of the six phantom animatronics in the game. It is a hallucination of a burnt and damaged Mangle. Phantom Mangle essentially uses the same model as Mangle from Five Nights at Freddy's 2, but with a burnt appearance, possibly foreshadowing the fire that broke out in the establishment. It lacks eyes and instead has pin-pricked, white pupils. Phantom Mangle first appears on Night 2, randomly appearing on CAM 04. After the player lowers the monitor, Phantom Mangle will appear behind the window of the office. It emits a loud distorted sound, making it difficult for the player to hear Springtrap’s audio cues. In Ultimate Custom Night, Phantom Mangle returns as a selectable character, randomly appearing on the monitor screen. If left on screen for too long, it will temporarily invade the office, causing audio distractions and increasing the noise meter. Additionally, Phantom Mangle appears in Five Nights at Freddy’s VR: Help Wanted, but its mechanics are completely revamped: it randomly appears in one of the vent cameras, and if the player doesn't switch cameras in time, it will jumpscare the player and cause a ventilation error. In FNaF World, Phantom Mangle is an unlockable character, and also appears as the second opponent in the Five Night In Funkin 3 mod.
