Background

Nightmare Balloon Boy is a major antagonist and one of the nightmare animatronics of the Five Nights at Freddy's series, first appearing in the Halloween Update expansion (both Standard and Halloween Edition) for Five Nights at Freddy's 4, where he is featured in his minigame known as "Fun with Balloon Boy" and functions very similar to Plushtrap. It is confirmed that he has an impact on the lore; whether his role is important or not is still yet to be determined.

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Nightmare Balloon Boy's story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Physical Appearance Nightmare Balloon Boy's appearance is similar to the original BB, except with a more menacing design. This includes large, pointed teeth inside of his large mouth (similar to Nightmare Chica), dark-blue eyelids and teeth gums, long claw-like fingers, and more sinister-looking eyes with red irises (similar to Nightmare Chica's Cupcake) as well as narrow gray veins. In fact, his mouth goes all the way around his head. He has a red triangular nose and circular cheeks instead of orange ones. He also has a red and purple striped hat and shirt, instead of his usual red and blue stripes. The pinwheel from the top of his cap is also blue rather than orange with a yellow button up top. His two buttons are indigo instead of the original BB's black ones. His brown hair is slightly shorter than his original counterpart. His blue pants are lighter in color. If one looks carefully, one can see that Nightmare Balloon Boy seems to wear white socks. His shoes bear an exact resemblance to his original counterpart's, albeit they appear lighter in color. Interestingly, Nightmare Balloon Boy appears to be in a perfect and completely undamaged shape. Like Phantom Balloon Boy, Nightmare Balloon Boy lacks the balloon and "Balloons!" sign as featured in Five Nights at Freddy's 2. Personality As revealed in Ultimate Custom Night, Nightmare Balloon Boy talks in complete sentences. As with the other nightmares, he has no qualms about torturing his victims with his bony, metal hands. As evident by his quotes in the aforementioned game, he also has a tendency to mock his victims whenever the opportunity presents itself. The chomping noise heard in one of his quotes indirectly suggests what he does to his victims.

Other

Standard Tactics:

Nightmare Balloon Boy starts off on the chair and then moves to four sets of doors, hallway, the "X" on the floor, or jumpscares the player. Nightmare Balloon Boy functions exactly as Plushtrap in the "Fun with Plushtrap" minigame, except for the fact that he laughs or says "Hi" or "Hello" in a deep, demonic voice as well as the fact that he moves at a slightly faster speed than Plushtrap.

“	When he is slumped over in your office, do not shine your light on him. When he is sitting up, however, you must use your flashlight to reset him.	„
	~ Nightmare Balloon Boy Ultimate Custom Night description

When the night starts, Nightmare BB is already slouched over inside the office. After lowering the monitor, there's a chance he'll be sitting up. When slouched, the player needs to avoid shining the flashlight on him, as this will result in an immediate jumpscare. If he is sitting, however, they should shine the light to return him to his slouching position, otherwise he will attack when the player opens up the monitor.

Weaknesses: Stops moving when flashed by a light, albeit he will still attack if it's flashed again while he's still.

Note: This version of Nightmare Balloon Boy is primarily using Ultimate Custom Night as its basis due to being a creation made by Golden Freddy, being noted to be given flesh.
