He will appear on your viewing monitor at random. Quickly change cameras or close the monitor to avoid his jumpscare. Getting jumpscared by Phantom BB will cause you to black-out temporarily
Phantom Mangle is one of the secondary antagonists and six phantom animatronics who first appeared in Five Nights at Freddy's 3. It is a hallucination of a burnt and damaged Mangle.
Physical Appearance
Phantom BB has, essentially, the same model as BB from the second game, but he lacks eyes and has two white buttons (like in the Office in the second game, although that this could also be an error in lighting). He instead has small, glowing, white pupils similar to Springtrap and the other phantoms and is missing both his "Balloons!" sign and balloon. His rosy cheeks appear to be colored in deep green. Phantom BB appears to be charred or burnt, possibly foreshadowing the torching of the attraction.
In Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted, Phantom Freddy sports a completely different look. He now uses Classic Freddy's model from the original Five Nights at Freddy's albeit transparent in places, revealing the endoskeleton underneath. He also appears to be damaged somewhat, with tears in his costume.

Threat Level:Mental Threat (Phantom Mangle is an illusionary phantom made by Springtrap that deters the night guard while Springtrap gets to the office)
Attack Potency:Unknown: True level (Despite being remade, it still appears that Phantom Mangle cannot actually cause harm to anyone as he's still not a spirit given form)
Intelligence:Unknown Intelligence (While patrolling as an ordinary animatronic, Phantom Mangle has shown to be well aware of his surroundings and even attempts to trick the night guard in question)
Phantom Mangle appears exclusively on CAM 04 and, when it appears in the Office, it will be behind the window and to the left. Phantom Mangle only appears from Night 2 onward, as do all the other phantoms. Phantom Mangle sometimes appears on CAM 04 hanging from the ceiling and, once spotted, will start emitting a loud, garbled sound. When the player retracts the Monitor, Phantom Mangle will rise up behind the window and remain there, playing the same distorted sound. Because of the loudness of the noise, the player will be unable to hear Springtrap's audio cues. After a few seconds, Mangle will drop down from below the window, thus ending the hallucination and triggering an audio error. If the player does not switch cameras after a certain period of time has passed, Phantom Mangle will force the Monitor down.
Phantom Mangle will appear at random in the player's monitor screen. The player should immediately close the monitor or switch viewing modes to make it disappear. If left onscreen for too long, Phantom Mangle will invade the office temporarily, causing audio distractions and increasing the Noise Meter, which can agitate sound-sensitive animatronics.
Weaknesses: Nothing notable.
Note
This version of Phantom Mangle primarily uses Ultimate Custom Night as its basis due to its appearance in FNaF 3 is only an illusion, whereas this one appears to be a creation due to being both made by Golden Freddy and can be summoned by Dee Dee.
