So... A question about Mangle...

[xander]

When Mangle gets inside of your room, what does he actually do?
For me, he's just stuck to the top of the ceiling, go into cameras, nothing, flashed my light, hasn't jammed (so it isn't like BB).

May I ask, what does he do?




NOTE: Mangle A.K.A New Foxy, for those who do not understand who Mangle is.

Mangle does kill you, so pretty much what the other bots do.

her main function appears to be killing the player. i'm not sure exactly what triggers it, as mangle can simply hang on the ceiling for long periods of time before actually killing you. it could be that the flashlight trick works on mangle if you keep flashing it down the main hallway, but i have nothing to back that up.

i've also seen some speculation saying that the noise she makes will draw more animatronics towards you once she's in the office, but i've seen no evidence reinforcing that either.

No, it's a he.
They tried to remake Foxy, ya know? Uh, they thought the first one was too scary, so they redesigned him to be more kid-friendly and put him in Kid's Cove. To keep the toddlers entertained, you know...But kids these days just can't keep their hands to themselves. The staff literally had to put Foxy back together after every shift. So eventually they stopped trying and left him as some 'take apart and put back together' attraction. Now he's just a mess of parts. I think the employees refer to him as just "The Mangle."

Notice that he specifically says 'he'.

Phone guy calls Mangle a he, but it's included in the "Lady's Night" custom challenge, so it's unclear.

In any case, it seems that Mangle will randomly decide to attack you, otherwise he just creepily hangs on the ceiling and supposedly attracts the other animatronics to attack you more frequently. It's possible that Mangle will just stay up there until 6 and leave you alone, but it's a gamble. To keep it away, you have to put the freddie head on when it peaks through the right vent, and wait for the sound cue that it's gone away.

On the Magled technically speaking 'it is both'. The Mageled has become a 'put it together take it apart' attraction. So just take away or add some parts and boom! It is a boy/girl. XD

eh, not that convinced. he begins that spiel by talking about the original foxy and the fact that he was being remade, not mangle directly. he's probably just using that identity for foxy because it's what he recognizes foxy's character as (and because foxy's his faaavorite). but if they were trying to redesign an animatronic to be more kid-friendly, especially aimed towards toddlers, effeminate changes probably wouldn't be unexpected.

also who lets something with that many metal teeth near their child

[Rox]

People often refer to objects that they don't know the gender of with masculine pronouns until learning otherwise. The fact that Mangle shows up in Ladies' Night strongly suggests that it's female.

[Flaps]

Does any of that matter? For all I know it's an IT, I mean Mangle is a pile of evil metal, really.

[Ak_Duke]

Mangle has her nails painted -.- It's obviously gestured to be a female.
