Phantom Balloon Boy

Phantom Balloon Boy (also known as Phantom BB) is an antagonist in Five Nights at Freddy's 3 and one of the six phantom animatronics in the game. He is a hallucination of a burnt and damaged BB.

Physical Appearance
Phantom BB has, essentially, the same model as BB from the second game, but he lacks eyes and has two white buttons (like in the Office in the second game, although that this could also be an error in lighting). He instead has small, glowing, white pupils similar to Springtrap and the other phantoms and is missing both his "Balloons!" sign and balloon. His rosy cheeks appear to be colored in deep green. Phantom BB appears to be charred or burnt, possibly foreshadowing the torching of the attraction. If one looks closely, one can see a light-brown smear on his cap as well as his shirt.

Five Nights at Freddy's 3
Phantom Balloon Boy is notably more sinister and aggressive than his original counterpart in the second game. Phantom BB lacks a movement pattern, but instead randomly blocks the Monitor view with his face that lacks eyes, the frequency of which increases as the week progresses.

If the player does not change camera views before retracting the Monitor, Phantom Balloon Boy will appear in front of the player in the Office and proceed to lunge at them with a scream while stretching his lower jaw wide in an unnatural way, disappearing and disabling the ventilation system. The time allotted to change cameras before his jumpscare decreases as the week progresses.

Ultimate Custom Night
Phantom Balloon Boy returns in Ultimate Custom Night as one of the customisable enemies.

Similar to his behavior in the third game, Phantom BB will appear on the monitor screen at random. Quickly change cameras or close the monitor to avoid his jumpscare. Getting jumpscared by Phantom BB will cause a temporary black-out in the process.

The challenges in which Phantom BB is present are as follows:


 * Springtrapped
 * Chaos 2
 * Chaos 3

Five Nights at Freddy's VR: Help Wanted
Phantom BB returns in Five Nights at Freddy's VR: Help Wanted, in the FNAF 3 levels. Like in the original Five Nights at Freddy's 3, Phantom BB appears randomly on a camera, and if the player doesn't switch cameras quickly enough, he will jumpscare them and cause a ventilation error.

FNAF World
Phantom BB appears in the RPG spin-off game FNaF World as a challenger and playable character to unlock.
