Balloon Boy is an antagonist of the Five Nights at Frickbear's series, with his latest appearance in Five Nights at Frickbear's 3.

Like the Marionette, Balloon Boy was initially documented inside the The New & Improved New Freddy Fazbear's Pizza in 1987 before being transferred to Freddy Frickbear's Pizza. In 2009, after Fazbear Entertainment filed for bankruptcy, Balloon Boy served as a side performer at the current location for the rest of his time, occasionally sabotaging the night guards through the building's ventilation system.

In Five Nights at Frickbear's 3, Balloon Boy activates on Night 2 or Night 1 on lunatic difficulty and serves as a tutorial to the ventilation mechanic. As instructed by the Phone Geek, Balloon Boy can be found inside the Ventilation system, where he attempts to sneak into the Office. The player must either attempt to slow Balloon Boy with the Audio Lure or, alternatively, allow him to enter the Office and don the Mask.

Everyone's favorite! BB was an experimental animatronic created by the company with the unique purpose of selling balloons. While they hoped this would lead to a long line of similar vendor bots in the future, BB was unfortunately met with widely negative reception from customers - likely thanks to his tendency to steal their belongings after not receiving payment for his balloons. While BB can still be found at some locations, he's largely been phased out over time.

Balloon Boy is a humanoid animatronic boy with a white skin tone, brown curly hair, and a bright red and blue uniform. He is a stylized interpretation of his original counterpart from Five Nights at Freddy's 2. Balloon Boy wears a red and blue propeller hat featuring an orange propeller. He features large eyes, triangular tan nose, bold grin, and rosy cheeks. Unlike a flat hairstyle, he has curly brown hair that goes over his head. His hands are occupied, with him holding a long red and yellow balloon in his right hand, while his left hand contains a sign that reads "Balloons!" He wears long shorts that cover his lower torso and large brown shoes.

Balloon Boy is shown to be eerily happy, never blinking or stopping smiling. He is a kleptomaniac, obsessed with stealing various things from customers and employees within the establishment.

Balloon Boy served as a balloon vendor at the The New & Improved New Freddy Fazbear's Pizza in 1987, as recorded in Five Nights at Freddy's 2, where he remained until the restaurant's eventual closure. At some point, Balloon Boy was relocated to the new Freddy Frickbear's Pizza, continuing his role there while the rest of the Toy Animatronics stayed behind in the rundown location.

Eventually, Freddy Fazbear's Pizza was purchased by a mysterious figure, despite the CEO's promises to keep the original locations open. The restaurant was rebranded as "Freddy Frickbear's Pizza." During the nighttime chaos caused by Freddy Frickbear and his friends, Balloon Boy assisted by sabotaging the night guards.

According to the director of the Frickbear's trilogy, he himself is confused about whether Bonnie the Bunny in Five Nights at Frickbear's 3 is the same animatronic from Five Nights at Frickbear's and its sequel. However, the similarities in the layout of the location in Five Nights at Frickbear's 2 suggest the same establishment and, by extension, same animatronic.

"Crawls through the vents. Put on the mask when he's near. He's unlikely to be fooled by the audio lure and will temporarily disable your flashlight if he gets in the office."

Balloon Boy activates on Night 2, and is among the many animatronics accessible through the Ventilation tab on the camera monitor. Although Balloon Boy is unlikely to respond to audio lures, they may still impede his path toward the player. Alternatively, the player can use the Heater to push back Balloon Boy, at the cost of raising the Office temperature. If Balloon Boy makes it to the Office vents, the player must quickly don the mask or else he will enter. Upon entering the Office, Balloon Boy temporarily disables the player's ability to use the Flashlight. While this might not pose a significant threat, it makes dealing with other flashlight-dependent animatronics difficult, but he will go away after a while. Sometimes, Balloon Boy will kill the player upon entering the Office.

In Custom Night, during the "Blind Mode" challenge, or if the player enables Balloon Boy's Special AI, he appears immediately and takes away the player's Flashlight for the entire night. He will not go away no matter what you do.

A Balloon Boy also appears in the second salvage segment at the New & Improved Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, where he holds on to the key to Parts & Services, requiring the player to answer three questions from him in order to unlock the door.

Balloon boy jumpscares when normally entering the office under these conditions:

With a probability of current night2 / 100 If difficulty is set to lunatic If no other animatronics that can kill you are active

FRICK-TIP: As stated prior, Balloon Boy is susceptible to the Heater, so you can use it if you're in a pinch. Just like all the vent animatronics, listening for his audio cues are key to survival. The AR Mask also deals with him effectively.

You're a night guard working for fredbear's pizzeria, but balloon boy accidentally gets into your office or did he get in accidentally through your vents
