🔪 Who (or What) Is Springtrap?

For FNAF newbies, this yellow rabbit isn't just haunted—he's personal. Springtrap debuted in Five Nights at Freddy's 3 as William Afton's rotting prison, a twisted fusion of metal and malice. Unlike other killers who chase, he stalks. His lore oozes into Dead by Daylight: rusty joints creaking, that signature limp, and those empty eyes scanning for prey. The devs nailed his essence—he doesn't just kill; he performs.

⚔️ Springtrap's Killer Toolkit

This bunny means business with dual weapons: a jagged pizza knife for up-close terror and a fire axe that’s pure nightmare fuel. His Power? Axe Toss creates an area-of-effect blast revealing survivor locations—genius for cornering hiding players. Get hit? You’ve got two choices:

  • ✋ Remove it yourself (slow and risky)

  • 👥 Have a teammate yank it out

But if Springtrap pulls the axe? Cue the iconic FNAF jump scare animation followed by an instant hook sacrifice. Brutal, right?

🍕 New Map: Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria

Step into the dilapidated arcade where sticky floors and flickering neon set the mood. The map’s crown jewel? The Security Office—a teleportation hub connecting every door. Survivors can zip through for shortcuts, but oh snap, if Springtrap intercepts you? Instant capture! Cameras scattered like confetti let you spy on his movements, adding a delicious cat-and-mouse dynamic. Just don’t linger—those static screens hide deadly surprises.

👘 Cosmetic Extravaganza

Springtrap’s wardrobe slays harder than his axe:

  • 🎬 Yellow Rabbit Legendary Outfit: Movie-inspired, with Matthew Lillard’s likeness and fresh voice lines (yep, Shaggy himself voicing Afton!)

  • 💀 Glitchtrap Legendary Outfit: Digital corruption vibes from Help Wanted

  • 🤡 Clown Springtrap & Toxic Springtrap: Rainbow horror and neon ooze for maximum creep factor

🌟 DBD’s Crossover Legacy

Dead by Daylight’s no stranger to iconic collabs—Ghostface’s lurking, Pyramid Head’s dragging, and Chucky’s tiny chaos. But Springtrap? He’s the pièce de résistance, blending psychological dread with physical menace. This collab isn’t just fan service; it’s a masterclass in horror synergy.
