Golden Freddy is a rare hidden animatronic in Five Nights at Freddy's, the indie horror game released by Scott Cawthon in 2014. Unlike the regular characters, he appears as a slumped yellow bear suit and triggers a crash when he jumpscares the player. His scream became famous outside the game through Let's Play videos, fan animations and horror memes, where the distorted sound signals a secret or corrupted character. It remains one of the most recognised FNAF sounds and is still used to mark an extreme, glitchy jumpscare.
