what was the bite of '87
The Bite of ’87 is one of the most important (and mysterious) background events in the Five Nights at Freddy’s (FNAF) series. Here’s a detailed, lore-accurate description of what is known, what is implied, and what is still debated.
What the Bite of ’87 Is
The Bite of ’87 refers to a serious animatronic-related incident that occurred in 1987 at a Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza location. During this event, an animatronic bit a human, causing severe injury to the victim’s head.
The victim survived, but suffered permanent brain damage, which led to major changes in how the restaurant operated afterward.
How We Know About It
The Bite of ’87 is first mentioned by Phone Guy in Five Nights at Freddy’s 1. He casually references it while explaining why:
Animatronics are no longer allowed to walk around during the day
They are restricted to nighttime performances only
This tells us the incident was:
Well-known within the company
Serious enough to permanently change company policy
What Exactly Happened
While the game never shows the event directly, the general consensus from dialogue and context is:
A child or adult was bitten on the head
The animatronic’s mouth clamped down
The victim lost a significant portion of their frontal lobe
Despite this, the person did not die
Phone Guy explicitly states:
“It’s amazing that the human body can live without the frontal lobe.”
This line strongly implies the bite damaged the frontal lobe of the brain, which controls personality, decision-making, and behavior.
Which Animatronic Did It?
This is one of the biggest mysteries in FNAF lore.
Strong Candidates
Mangle (most widely accepted theory)
Present at the 1987 location (FNAF 2)
Has a large, exposed jaw
Frequently hangs upside down, placing its mouth near head level
Extremely aggressive toward staff
Less Likely Candidates
Toy Chica (due to her beak being removable)
Toy Bonnie / Toy Freddy (less physical evidence)
Withered animatronics (present but not active during the day)
Most fans believe Mangle caused the Bite of ’87 due to physical design and behavior.
Where It Happened
The bite occurred at the Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza location featured in FNAF 2, which is set in 1987.
This location:
Had facial recognition software
Allowed animatronics to roam freely during the day
Was eventually shut down shortly after the incident
Consequences of the Bite
The Bite of ’87 had long-lasting effects on the FNAF universe:
Animatronics were banned from daytime movement
Increased safety restrictions were implemented
The company’s reputation worsened
Helped lead to the closure of the 1987 location
Contributed to the eerie atmosphere of later games
Bite of ’87 vs. Bite of ’83 (Important Distinction)
Many people confuse the two:
Bite of ’87Bite of ’83Victim survivedVictim diedHappened off-screenShown in FNAF 4Likely caused by MangleCaused by FredbearDamaged frontal lobeCrushed entire head
Scott Cawthon (the creator) has confirmed they are two separate events.
Why It Matters
The Bite of ’87:
Explains major rule changes in the franchise
Reinforces the theme that animatronics are dangerous
Adds realism and unease to the series
Serves as a key timeline anchor for FNAF lore
