Springtrap first appeared as the main antagonist of Five Nights at Freddy's 3, the 2015 horror game where a decayed rabbit animatronic stalks the player through a horror attraction. Clips of his scare have since spread through YouTube horror edits and Minecraft fan series such as Mine Nights at Freddy's, where creators reuse the sound for parody jumpscares and reaction moments. It remains popular alongside the classic FNAF jumpscare scream because fans instantly recognise the character and the tension his appearance creates.
