Burntrap was introduced as the hidden final antagonist in Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach, released in 2021, presented as a charred, decaying animatronic linked to William Afton and the earlier Springtrap form. Clips of his hacking and interference noises were quickly isolated by FNAF fans and shared across soundboards and edit communities. Paired often with the FNAF Jumpscare Scream, the longer hacking build gave creators a way to stretch suspense before a scare. It remains popular for fan games, roleplay videos and short horror edits centred on corrupted animatronics.
