Withered Golden Freddy

Golden Freddy also makes an appearance in Five Nights at Freddy's 2, playing a more active role. He is also referred to officially as Golden Freddy on the Custom Night screen, where he is now one of the characters whose difficulty settings may be altered. Unlike the other older animatronics, he is not replaced with a toy counterpart.

Appearance
Rather than being a simple recolor of Freddy, Golden Freddy now has a unique model of his own. He appears to be in a decrepit state, much like the other original animatronics, with a missing left ear, and a good deal of damage with loose wires and exposed parts. Also similar to the other original animatronics, he now has upper teeth, wires are coming out of his empty sockets and shoulders, and small bits of the suit are faded and ripped. His arms and legs seem darker than the rest of his body. His head is noticeably thinner than Freddy's. He seems to be more visibly clutching his microphone rather than having it lay on his palm.

Unlike his appearance in the first game, he seems much shorter, his pupils are not visible (as he does not seem to have eyes at all), and he appears to have no bow tie, though it is possible his lower jaw is blocking it from view. If one looks closely, he has a black button on his chest, similar to Freddy. His head also seams to be tilting to the left rather than to the right. He seems to have some blood on his suit.

Behavior
Withered Golden Freddy will begin to appear on Night 5, and is the rarest to appear. Most people will encounter him once per game. Golden Freddy will slump down in your office. If you see Withered Golden Freddy, don’t look at him by covering your eyes, and don’t make any noise. If you can’t cover your eyes and/or make noise, he will kill you right in your face.
