Huggy Wuggy was originally created by Playtime Company to be a beloved toy for children. The plush became the company’s most successful product; however, before the events of the game, it was altered by transferring a human consciousness into it. This corrupted and twisted the character into a monstrous entity.
In its first appearance, Huggy Wuggy attempts to deceive the protagonist by pretending to be a statue. Once the player retrieves the key and restores power to a room that requires it, Huggy Wuggy dismounts from its pedestal and begins stalking the player from vents and high, inaccessible places. It is only when the player ventures into the dark and encounters the conveyor belt tunnels that Huggy Wuggy emerges from the shadows and actively chases them.
If the player fails to reach the catwalk at the end of the conveyor belt, Huggy Wuggy will snatch and eliminate them with its teeth. However, if the player manages to reach the catwalk, they must push a box to block Huggy Wuggy’s path and destroy it, causing both of them to fall. The outcome of Huggy Wuggy’s fate after falling into the void—crashing into pipes—is unknown, leaving it unclear whether it survived or was defeated.
