Withered Mangle is the broken, tangled version of the fox animatronic Mangle from Five Nights at Freddy's 2, the 2014 sequel by Scott Cawthon. Like most animatronics in the series, its attack triggers the signature FNAF jumpscare scream, a loud distorted shriek that became one of gaming's most recognisable scare sounds. Clips of individual characters' jumpscares circulate widely as demos and soundboards, letting fans compare variants. Mangle's version stays popular because the character's creepy, mangled design makes its jumpscare a favourite for FNAF animations, memes and reaction edits.
