Fiona Murray

William Afton (Cameo Only)
William Afton, a central figure in the Five Nights at Freddy’s series, makes a brief cameo appearance in The Secret of the Mimic. Although not a primary character, his presence adds a layer of mystery and lore to the game. As a long-time antagonist in the franchise, his inclusion sparks curiosity about his connection to the Mimic.
Edwin Murray Sr. (Pictured/Mentioned Only)
Edwin Murray Sr., the father of Edwin Murray, was the original owner of Murray Co. and Murray’s Costume Manor. While details about his life are scarce, it is suggested that he had strong reservations about Fazbear Entertainment, cautioning his son against forming a partnership with them. After his death, Edwin Sr. surprisingly left the company to Edwin, a move that took his son by surprise. Although his name is not explicitly stated in the game, it is revealed through the file name of his in-game portrait.
Recovery Team 012 Corpses
Recovery Team 012 is an extraction team sent by Fazbear Entertainment to retrieve the Mimic from Murray’s Costume Manor. Tragically, all team members are killed by the Mimic, with most stuffed into mascot suits around the facility. A few are found in more unsettling states, like one buried under shelves and another in a locker with only a mascot head. Their blue denim jumpsuits, green jackets marked with “RECOVERY TEAM 012” and decayed bodies provide a chilling reminder of the team’s failed mission. Their remains are mistaken for the player character Arnold.
Animatronic Characters
In Five Nights at Freddy’s: The Secret of the Mimic, animatronic characters take center stage as both threats and crucial parts of the game’s mechanics. These terrifying machines are designed to interact with players, creating a tense and horrifying atmosphere. Their roles in the story are deeply tied to the game’s lore, with the Mimic adding an unpredictable element to their behavior.
Jackie in the Box
Jackie in the Box is the first animatronic character in Five Nights at Freddy’s: The Secret of the Mimic. With her clown-like design, long arms, and glowing yellow eyes, Jackie is one of the most striking and terrifying characters in the game. As the first major antagonist, she relentlessly chases the player through the facility, taunting them with phrases like “time to play.” Jackie first appeared in Help Wanted 2, and her terrifying design and actions in The Secret of the Mimic make her a memorable and terrifying adversary.
Elephant Mascot
The Elephant Mascot is the second animatronic character in Five Nights at Freddy’s: The Secret of the Mimic. This large, human-sized figure is dressed in a green jester costume and a clown hat, making it an unnerving presence early in the game. The Elephant’s bulging eyes and menacing demeanor add to its frightening nature, especially when it breaks out of its enclosure. As the first major enemy players encounter, the Elephant plays a crucial role in setting the chilling tone of the game.
Sharpay the Poodle
Sharpay the Poodle is the third animatronic character in Five Nights at Freddy’s: The Secret of the Mimic. Despite her poodle-like appearance, Sharpay’s toothy grin and predatory behavior make her a deadly threat. As a barber mascot for “Sharpay’s Salon,” her role as a seemingly innocent figure quickly turns sinister when she attempts to attack the player. Sharpay’s design and history tied to the Mimic make her one of the more disturbing characters players must face in the game.
Birthday Puppy
Birthday Puppy is the fourth animatronic character in Five Nights at Freddy’s: The Secret of the Mimic. With a dopey face, purple bowtie, and party hat, this dog mascot initially seems like a cheerful figure. However, its unsettling smile and lolling tongue quickly turn it into a terrifying presence. Birthday Puppy’s ironic role as a party mascot adds an eerie twist, making the encounter all the more disturbing when players realize that it is anything but friendly.
The Penguin Mascot
The Penguin Mascot is the fifth animatronic character in Five Nights at Freddy’s: The Secret of the Mimic. Initially, its friendly appearance, with a wide smile and cat-eye glasses, makes it seem harmless. However, this deceptively charming character is one of the rarest and most unsettling encounters in the game. The Penguin’s role in the Retail Showroom adds a sense of mystery and danger, as players never know when it might appear, hiding its true malevolent nature behind its friendly facade.
The Lion Mascot
The Lion Mascot is the sixth animatronic character in Five Nights at Freddy’s: The Secret of the Mimic. With sharp claws, a toothy grin, and a varsity jacket, the Lion evokes the appearance of a high-school bully, making it a formidable opponent. Though its encounters are rare, the Lion’s aggressive nature and the unsettling design make it one of the more terrifying characters players face. Its role in the game adds to the growing list of dangers lurking in the halls of Murray’s Costume Manor.
Hedgehog Hudgie
Hedgehog Hudgie is the seventh animatronic character in Five Nights at Freddy’s: The Secret of the Mimic. Despite its name, this mascot resembles more of a tired seal than a hedgehog, making it one of the more bizarre and common enemies. Seen frequently roaming the halls of Murray’s Costume Manor, Hudgie is the mascot for the Hudgies candy company. Its confusing appearance and frequent presence make it a constant threat that players must be prepared to avoid as they navigate the facility.
Lyrical Lemur
Lyrical Lemur is the eighth animatronic character in Five Nights at Freddy’s: The Secret of the Mimic. This character stands out with its multiple disturbing forms, ranging from a dark cyan mime to a hippie with hooded eyelids. Regardless of its version, the Lyrical Lemur’s empty-eyed smile and eerie presence make it a constant source of fear. As one of the more unpredictable characters, Lyrical Lemur adds a layer of unease, ensuring players are never quite sure what they will encounter.
Swing Bee
Swing Bee is the ninth animatronic character in Five Nights at Freddy’s: The Secret of the Mimic. Despite her name, Swing Bee might look more like a ladybug or a caterpillar, but her wide-eyed, open-mouthed stare gives her an unsettling presence. She acts as part of the Demo-tronic Welcome Show, meant to entertain players with a song and dance. However, her eerie appearance and role as part of the show’s creepy welcome make her an unforgettable character in the game.
The Jester
The Jester is the tenth animatronic character in Five Nights at Freddy’s: The Secret of the Mimic. Dressed in a diamond-print jester outfit with a frilled collar and bells on its hat, the Jester looks like a sinister prankster rather than a fun entertainer. This character, the mascot for Jest Oat Cereal, adds a playful yet horrifying element to the game. With sunken yellow eyes and a clown-like nose, the Jester’s tricks are more dangerous than amusing, creating a tense atmosphere for players.
Party Time Chika
Party Time Chika is the eleventh animatronic character in Five Nights at Freddy’s: The Secret of the Mimic. This roller-skating, apron-wearing version of Chica is the mascot of “Chica’s Party World.” Accompanied by four new minions—Ms. Burger, Mr. Chicken, Ms. Shake, and Mr. Cupcake—Party Time Chika brings fun and chaos to the game. The minions, armed with legs and roller skates, alert Party Time Chika to the player’s presence, adding another layer of danger to her already menacing persona.
Mycellium Men
Mycellium Men is the twelfth animatronic character in Five Nights at Freddy’s: The Secret of the Mimic. These mushroom-headed, gnome-like creatures form a musical band with four color variants, each playing a different instrument. Though they appear somewhat cute, their frequent presence around Murray’s Costume Manor makes them an unnerving threat. Mycellium Men’s strange design and the jaunty way they walk through the halls make them a persistent and unsettling adversary in the game.
Digi-Typer Guard Bot
The Digi-Typer Guard Bot is the thirteenth animatronic character in Five Nights at Freddy’s: The Secret of the Mimic. As an older version of the more mobile S.T.A.F.F. Bots from Security Breach, the Digi-Typer Guard Bot is less agile, with a cart-like lower body. Despite its humanoid design and night guard uniform, the Digi-Typer Guard Bot poses no direct threat to the player. Instead, it becomes an unfortunate victim of Jackie’s rampages, contributing to the eerie and decaying atmosphere of the game.
Mr. and Mrs. Helpful
Mr. and Mrs. Helpful are the fourteenth animatronic characters in Five Nights at Freddy’s: The Secret of the Mimic. These husband and wife bear mascots are a rare example of non-hostile animatronics in the game. Serving as guides throughout Murray’s Costume Manor, they provide helpful lore and exposition about the facility’s history and the game’s setting. Their non-threatening nature offers players a brief respite from the other dangers lurking in the mansion.
Nurse Dolly
Nurse Dolly is the fifteenth animatronic character in Five Nights at Freddy’s: The Secret of the Mimic. This humanoid nurse bot, dressed in a teal hospital uniform, was designed to care for other animatronics. However, her definition of “care” is deadly, as she eventually detaches from her restraints and hunts down the player with jerky movements and a gaping mouth. Nurse Dolly’s unsettling behavior and murderous intentions make her one of the most terrifying enemies in the game.
White Tiger
White Tiger is the sixteenth animatronic character in Five Nights at Freddy’s: The Secret of the Mimic. This character, first seen in Help Wanted 2 as a memory doll, becomes a more active and dangerous presence in The Secret of the Mimic. Players encounter the White Tiger briefly, often lit by a spotlight, adding to the character’s elusive and threatening nature. The White Tiger’s eerie eyes and sudden appearances make it a tense and dangerous enemy in the game.
Sleepy Moon
Sleepy Moon is the seventeenth animatronic character in Five Nights at Freddy’s: The Secret of the Mimic. Unlike the other animatronics, Sleepy Moon is not animated by the Mimic but by something far more terrifying. With its glowing moon-shaped body, oversized features, and creepy grin, Sleepy Moon is an optional character that players may encounter under specific conditions. Its brief appearance is unsettling and leaves a lasting impact, adding to the game’s eerie atmosphere.
Big Top
Big Top is the eighteenth animatronic character in Five Nights at Freddy’s: The Secret of the Mimic. This giant, spider-like creature shares similarities with DJ Music Man from Security Breach, but with a muted color palette and a mustache. Big Top invites the player to play carnival games before attempting to capture them. This unique interaction adds a new challenge to the game, as players must complete tasks while avoiding this terrifying animatronic’s grasp.
The Mimic
The Mimic is the nineteenth and most dangerous animatronic character in Five Nights at Freddy’s: The Secret of the Mimic. Capable of taking on various forms, the Mimic is the main antagonist of the game. Sent by Fazbear Entertainment, players must track down the Mimic and its schematics, but the creature’s unpredictable nature and ability to inhabit other mascot suits make it a constant threat. As the player navigates the facility, the Mimic’s ability to appear unexpectedly keeps them on edge, ensuring a tense and thrilling experience throughout the game.
What is Five Nights at Freddy’s: The Secret of the Mimic About?

As he explores the manor, Arnold encounters a terrifying series of animatronics and mascots, including the Mimic, a shape-shifting creature with a dark and deadly presence. The game combines traditional FNAF survival mechanics with a new, horrifying twist—the Mimic can inhabit various animatronic suits, keeping players on constant edge as they never know what to expect next.
The story builds a tense atmosphere as players uncover the secrets behind Murray’s Costume Manor and its connection to Fazbear Entertainment. The deeper Arnold digs, the more he learns about the sinister history of the Mimic, leading to a race against time to escape its grasp.
