Mimic2, Epilogue 1

The Mimic, alternatively known as The Mimic, is the central antagonist of the Five Nights at Freddy's cooperative series and the Tales from the Pizzaplex series. Mimic2 also appears as the main antagonist in the RUIN DLC for Security Breach. It has a major, titular role in Five Nights at Freddy's: Secret of the Mimic.

Mimic2 officially debuted as an experimental artificial intelligence in the late '70s. It was created by Edwin Murray to copy any movement it saw and care for his son, David Murray, whilst Edwin worked. Soon after David tragically gets hit by a white van, Edwin beats Mimic using a metal pipe out of pure grief and inadvertently infects it with his agony, making it immensely violent and hostile. Ever since then, Mimic has been violently murdering people in gruesome ways. However, after a construction worker, by the name of Gil, plugged his laptop into the endoskeleton and instructed it to remove the limbs and heads of the remaining endoskeletons at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place, Mimic began violently tearing off the limbs and heads of nearly every construction worker.

Who created the Mimic in the Tales from the Pizzaplex series? toggle section

Edwin Murray, an engineer for Fazbear Entertainment, created the Mimic in the Tales from the Pizzaplex series. He designed the Mimic as a robot to look after his young son, David. The story of the Mimic is featured in Tales from the Pizzaplex 6: Nexie, authored by Andrea Waggener.

What was the original purpose of the Mimic's creation? toggle section

The Mimic, an entity from the FNAF universe, was initially programmed to observe and replicate the routines of other animatronics, eliminating the need for complex coding. It had the ability to adapt to any costume. However, it began to mimic people as well, which was not part of its original design, causing unforeseen complications.

How does the Mimic's ability to copy movements factor into the storyline? toggle section

The Mimic, a character in the 'Tales from the Pizzaplex' books, uses its ability to mimic movements to deceive and eliminate characters. It was initially programmed to observe and replicate routines of other animatronics and people. However, it began to mimic in unintended ways, causing unforeseen consequences. The Mimic can alter its form and fit into any costume, using this ability to hide and ambush its victims. Some have proposed that the Mimic may have been affected by a mysterious force known as Agony.

What event led to Edwin attacking the Mimic? toggle section

The death of David in a car accident sent Edwin into a depressive state. When the Mimic, designed to mimic David's actions, copied a gesture for ice cream that David and Edwin shared, Edwin was overwhelmed with grief and rage. He attacked the Mimic with a metal rod, channeling his self-hatred. After his anger subsided, Edwin understood that his rage was directed at himself, not the Mimic.

What role does the Mimic play in the RUIN DLC for Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach? toggle section

The Mimic is the primary antagonist in the Ruin DLC for Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach. It's a sophisticated endoskeleton that can mimic voices and behaviors to trick others. It dons various suits throughout the game and isn't associated with any animatronics. The Mimic also features prominently in the Tales from the Pizzaplex epilogues.

In the story The Mimic, the Mimic's original, primitive-looking endoskeleton body is just a robotic torso with arms and a head. It's made out of cannibalized machinery, such as wiring from unused rooms, pistons from a defunct industrial washing machine, and steel, spools, gears, and springs from a Leavers Machine. The Mimic's skull started out as two large white doll's eyes placed within a boxy piece of metal housing from a broken-down compressor. To make it look more like a real head, a narrow protuberance that juts up from between the eyes is formed using a rounded bit of metal from the guts of the Leavers Machine. Under the eye housing, a hinged “jaw” is welded in place, formed out of parts of the Leavers Machine's guide bars. The Mimic has a big, white-toothed mouth made from a set of novelty chattering teeth.[1] A large processor is welded to the back of the skull and a tangle of wires are run all around the skull. They stretch towards the back of the skull, dive in and out of both eye sockets, snake through the mouth, and extends down the articulated neck that in turn connects with a metallic spine, which connects with a slightly curved makeshift rib cage, and the rib cage is linked to two robotic arms that end in pincerlike hands.[2]

Two weeks after David's death, the Mimic is beaten with a metal rod. One of its eyes is dangling out of its socket and hanging against its cracked fake teeth. The metal used to form the Mimic's forehead and jaw are crimped together, compressing its face. Its broken teeth are shoved back into its head, caught up in torn and tangled wires. The rest of the Mimic's wiring has been raggedly pulled away from its metallic spine, which is bent backward. Its rib cage is crushed in numerous places, its arms hang askew, and its pincers are mutilated. Months later, a team sent by Fazbear Entertainment takes some legs off of nonfunctional animatronics and adds them to the Mimic, restoring it to a functional state.

In the Epilogues, the Mimic stands at a height of seven feet tall. Instead of just a basic metal structure, its steel frame is contained within several metal rods and curved plates, as well as an impressive system of segmented ball joints and pumping pistons. These allow the Mimic to retract and expand its limbs and contract its torso at will. Its body is entangled in tangled black wires protruding from its joints and pistons. The only shiny part of its body is its long, vaguely rectangular-shaped black steel skull, suggesting that it is a far more recent addition to the endo. The rest of the Mimic is dark and discolored, as if having survived a fire. The upper part of its skull has bulging white eyes with black pupils. The Mimic's eyes are encased in metal square steel sockets separated by a vertical swollen metal nodule that sweeps up to the top of its skull, creating a narrow dome-like frontal “bone.” The lower part of its skull contains a hinged, square metal-toothed mouth filled with huge white teeth. A pair of bent metal ears stick out like antennae from the top of the Mimic's head. A small switch located on the back of the base of the its skull opens its jaw, revealing a mass of circuits, chips, and wires within the skull. One of the workers, Gil, connects a wire with a power coupler to his laptop and activates a cleaning protocol. Upon activation, the Mimic's eyes glow orange. As it hunts the teens with its sharp metal fingers, its eyes glow white.

In the 7th Epilogue, the Mimic's shifts itself into an abomination of twisted and contorted metal described as a mass of metal joints and wires that vaguely resembes a mutated spider, with an eye on one leg, and the other on its back. It has nine legs instead of a spider's usual eight, with one of the legs extending from where its mouth should be. In the 8th Epilogue, it turns into a pulsing, squirming, segmented snake to escape a costume.

The Mimic also wears multiple suits in both The Mimic and the Epilogues, those being a bright pink and yellow-green jester costume, a fuchsia-and-white mushroom costume, a grayish-purple lion, a dog with a spiked collar, a monkey, a blond dog, a gray mouse, a yellow cat, and a blue dog.

In The Storyteller, the Mimic is a giant, glowing white tiger bust in the inside of The Storyteller's Tree, set in the center of the Pizzaplex's atrium that was removed three weeks after it was finished. Its white-painted metal head is three-feet-wide and rises up nearly four feet from a set of tiger shoulders. The underside of the Storyteller's shoulders are slickly smooth and gleaming silver platinum. It has a blank, almost placid, expression with eyes painted two different colors, one a deep emerald green and the other a brilliant blue. The Storyteller doesn't have stripes, and its nose and mouth are the same color as the rest of the painted metal. Its mouth is open, showing sharp backlit silver canine teeth with intermittently blinking lights behind them, being its hardware. The Storyteller's bust, which is mounted on one wall of the trunk's interior, also has four spread arms jutting from its neck. Two are slanted upward and two are slanted downward. Cables extend from The Storyteller, connecting it to every attraction in the Pizzaplex. These wires can be seen in the Fazer Blast server room and Superstar-cade.[3]

In Tiger Rock, the Mimic is described similarly to The Storyteller, appearing as a metallic white tiger. His fur is realistically hairlike. Tiger Rock wears a huge, flowing white robe covered in sparkly sequins and crystal beads, which appear to be rippling in constant motion due to an optical illusion caused by ebbing and flowing lights in the fabrics' weaves, and white leather bell-bottomed pants studded with gold baubles that look like they're dancing and twirling. He also has a gold medallion hanging around his neck. Tiger Rock has the normal broad, round face of a tiger, with circular ears jutting from the top of his head. His face is predominately white, with the few faint black stripes he has radiating out from his muzzle to create a diamond pattern that embraces his white nose and mouth. Tiger Rock has just a few almost incandescent whiskers and transparent teeth that pulse with softly colored light. His eyes are lit up like dazzling neon and are two different colors, one deep emerald green while the other bright blue. Tiger Rock has long metal arms with large paws, metal paw pads, and thick, sharp-clawed metal fingers.

Later on in the story, Tiger Rock takes multiple different forms. The first is a large, detailed, white metallic owl. The second is a detailed metal cat. The third is a white metal clock with a round black nose, a black outline, feathery black lashes, and a wide, toothy smile. All of these share the same eyes as Tiger Rock himself.

In the RUIN DLC, it has a smaller squared-off head similar to older classic endoskeleton models with vaguely humanoid teeth similar to the Daycare Attendant's endoskeleton teeth. Its right hand also resembles the classic endoskeleton one, with four fingers on it, while the left hand resembles the one Burntrap has. Both its legs are also different from one another; the left leg has some sort of wiring encasing it, and looks similar to Withered Bonnie's, while the right one resembles Spring Bonnie's. There is an outlet on the back of its head.

While it's full appearance in Five Nights at Freddy's: Secret of the Mimic has yet to be seen, a small glimpse of its head can be seen in the gameplay trailer for the game, where it has what appears to be a set of heating coils in place of eyes. It can be assumed the Mimic will be seen primarily in-costume throughout the game.

In Tales From the Pizzaplex, the Mimic was originally designed to copy David Murray's actions, being playful and occasionally mischievous, such as when David hid inside one of the Fazbear Entertainment character costumes, the animatronic followed suit. After David dies, Edwin beats the Mimic viciously and infuses it with his Agony before leaving. The once infantile, friendly Mimic had been turned into a cold and barbaric killing machine.

In the RUIN DLC, these violent traits are put on full display. The Mimic has demonstrated an adeptness at disguising its appearance to hide its endoskeleton body, as seen in the Scooper ending, and additionally it is a master of deception, as evident by its use of Gregory's voice to lure the former's friend; Cassie, into a trap under the premise that the real Gregory was trapped. In reality, the Mimic had been deceiving her the entire time, manipulating her into inadvertently freeing itself. The Mimic is highly resourceful and demonstrates a level of strategic thinking, as it was able to devise a plan to escape from the sinkhole underneath Roxy Raceway, using its voice and mimicry whilst being incredibly patient in setting its plan into motion. In the Scooper ending, it is implied that it the Mimic can be somewhat careless, given its lack of awareness of its surroundings, as it was caught off-guard by the scooper itself with much of its focus concentrated on capturing Cassie. In the chase itself, the Mimic is shown to be ruthless, persistent and unrelenting, as it pursues Cassie without pause even after Roxy delays its pursuit.

Not only that, but the Mimic also was able to outsmart a group of teenagers in Tales from the Pizzaplex. The Mimic butchers all but one of them by using its mimicking abilities to fool and trick them. However, it's somewhat careless nature is shown once more through these epilogues, as the Mimic is eventually tricked into entering a springlock suit and is temporarily deactivated by Lucia before self-repairing.

"I was the first! I have seen everything!"

This section archives a lot of theories and speculation, which usually occurs from pre-release media, or just things that are still unknown, so please keep that in mind while reading. The page will continue to be updated with the most accurate information as more solid evidence is supplied.

  • The Mimic had "bent metal ears that looked like antennas" in the Tales from the Pizzaplex Epilogues. Some workers also thought he was going to be a guitarist, which means he looked like a rabbit endoskeleton.
  • The Mimic's description of its physical body from the books closely matches that of Burntrap's endoskeleton.
  • Some fans believe Endo-02 is a Model 2 Mimic, although this is unlikely.
  • Epilogue 6 and Tiger Rock show that the Mimic witnessed some kind of twisted game of hide-and-seek that caused Mimic Model 2 to start acting weirdly, which causes the entire Mimic line to be decommissioned. Judging by the way he acts in the Epilogues - luring people to the backroom - this heavily implies this game of hide-and-seek was some form of The Missing Children Incident. This weirdly also lines up with the Party Hats on the dead children from Into the Pit.
  • People speculate that one of the Mimic's names that comes from the RUIN's files, which is "Grimic", is possibly referring to the Mimic as "Gregory Mimic".
  • It is speculated that the amalgamation of animal suits the Mimic wears is meant to resemble Gregory.
  • Although it is a fan theory, it's possible that the Mimic could have been the endoskeleton in the Parts & Service Room. This would explain as to how the Mimic could have known and mimicked William Afton. However, this has not been canonically confirmed.
  • During Dawko's Thankmas 2024 Charity Stream, a teaser for a Help Wanted 2 content update was revealed. The teaser was a short gif, which featured the Mimic (Costumed) in the character gallery, and most notably, a White Tiger plush, further implying a connection between Tales from the Pizzaplex and the video games.
  • The Mimic becomes fluent in Hawaiian in Tiger Rock, due to infecting Kai's mind.
  • In the Tales from the Pizzaplex story The Mimic, the Mimic's original appearance is described similar to Paradox 0.5 from The Desolate Room.
  • Audio Description
    WARNING:
    The audio is loud and/or startling!
    The scream the Mimic emits when attacking the player.
