Foxy is the pirate fox animatronic from Five Nights at Freddy's, the 2014 indie horror game by Scott Cawthon in which players survive nights against possessed animatronics. In the game, Foxy can sprint down the west hall toward the office, and reaching the player triggers his sudden jumpscare. Clips of that moment spread through Let's Play videos, reaction compilations and TikTok edits, where the short scream became shorthand for an instant scare. It remains popular because it is instantly recognisable to horror fans and works even without any game context.
