Foxy first appeared as the pirate fox animatronic in the original Five Nights at Freddy's, and returned in Five Nights at Freddy's AR: Special Delivery, the 2019 augmented-reality game where animatronics stalk players through their phone cameras. When a player fails to stop Foxy, he lunges forward with this scream, a moment players clipped and shared widely in gameplay videos and short-form edits. Because the scream is instantly recognisable to horror fans and only lasts a second, it remains a handy shortcut for a sudden scare in memes, reactions and gaming montages.
