Moon, similar to his daytime counterpart, is a jester-themed animatronic, but with a head bearing the likeness of a grinning crescent moon rather than a bright sun. After transforming into Moon, the sun rays surrounding Sun's face are retracted into his head; the left half of his face turns black with the detailing on his teeth and eyes still visible; and the right side of his face, shaped like the crescent moon, turns white, giving the smiling moon illusion (stated in Sun's description) more contrast and prominence. His torso is painted silver and black instead of beige and amber, respectively, but the two buttons located on his chest remain in place and are colored blue instead. His arms are silver and gradient to blue towards his forearms, and his hands and fingertips are also colored blue. On his head, he wears a sleeping cap that is blue in color and patterned with bright yellow stars, and the end of the cap is decorated with a golden bell. He has blue and gold frills around his neck and wears puffy blue pants accented by yellow stars. Identical to Sun, Moon's waist frills remain maroon and gold; his shoes are still orange with moon and star symbols on them, and he maintains the same maroon ribbons and gold bells on his wrists. There is also a small latch on his back that connects to a hook, allowing him extra midair mobility.

In the Moon form, the flexibility and mobility of the Daycare Attendant is shown to be more unnatural, where he can twist and bend his body like a contortionist and perform some improbable acts, like scaling non-gravity surfaces such as walls and ceilings without falling off. Although his appearance is fragile, he possesses a deceptive amount of strength and durability, as he could easily subdue Glamrock Freddy (Normal and Upgraded) without any damage. He has also presumably ripped apart many S.T.A.F.F. Bots and Glamrock Endos, consequently leaving some of their remains in his room. His ocular system seems to be more special than the other animatronics, as Moon is immune to both the laser from Fazerblaster and the flash from the Faz Cam.

Besides physical abilities as discussed above, Moon seems to have some tracking ability via an unknown tele-navigation device like radar, as seen with Gregory and Cassie in the game. Additionally, the Daycare Attendant as a whole can now fly/glide around the space limitlessly, marking a more advanced pace for his mentioned movement capabilities.

The Daycare Attendant is usually depicted as malevolent or aggressive to some degree, using scare tactics to get children to behave rather than Sun's more gentle approach. Recently, he came into contact with a strange virus, which made him more easily agitated and snippy with the children. Before, he never truly meant his threats, even if the children believed them. Now... sometimes he wondered how far he could truly be pushed. He's especially aggressive towards parents he thinks may be abusive or negligent towards kids. Since coming into contact with the virus, he has been more disrespectful towards employees. Before, with adults, he was depicted as sarcastic, witty, and rude, albeit compliant. Now he sometimes even refuses orders.

As of three days ago, he has developed the suspicion that his brother, the animatronic who shares his body, may be trying to keep him from coming back by slowly cutting down the time slot for naptime and requesting that the lights be turned on sooner than they are supposed to be.

Sun is a jester-like animatronic with a stylized light-beige sun-shaped head, white eyes, and a widely grinning expression. His entire body is predominantly colored beige and amber, being dual-colored down the middle from his face to his torso. The right side of his face is beige while the left side is amber (including the teeth). The right side of his face and torso both slightly overlap the left side: for his face, it curves over at the top and bottom and overlaps onto the amber side with a 2D/flat, pointy nose and outline on the mouth, forming the illusion of a smiling, waning crescent moon, which directly references the Sun's counterpart, the Moon. His body slightly covers part of the amber side at the top where two maroon buttons are. His head has spikes on its perimeter that resemble sun rays. He has a lanky body with long limbs and large, opposable five-fingered hands, colored in a gradient from beige to gray with gray fingertips. Sun is fitted with a beige-amber painted torso that corresponds to his facial colors, yellow pants with maroon stripes, and a faint maroon gradient that can be seen just above the fabric sash of his waist frills. Both his neck and waist frills are maroon with a yellow stripe. Sun also wears orange elf-like shoes with a star symbol on the outer part of the shoes and a moon symbol on the inner part. He has maroon ribbons with bells wrapped around his wrists. The inner animatronic parts of Sun can be seen through uncovered sections of his arms, hands, shoulders, and back.

As Sun, the Daycare Attendant is upbeat and energetic, similar to Funtime Freddy. He enjoys doing activities with children such as putting on puppet shows and drinking Fizzy Faz. Sun panics quickly when there's a mess and rushes to clean it up. He's also very serious about keeping the lights on as a way to prevent himself from transforming into Moon. This could be due to Sun being concerned for the children, or it could be him showing fear of their alternate side and not wanting to transform. This, along with his propensity for cleaning, shows Sun cares strongly about following the rules. Contrary to this, the Daycare Attendant's room is messy and contains cobwebs, implying Sun does not clean his own room. It's likely that Sun's obsession with cleaning only applies to the Daycare, for health and safety reasons. Likely due to his hyperactivity and high energy, Sun has a tendency to yell/talk loudly, though he does retain the ability to speak at a normal talking volume.

Sun has always had extreme anxiety when speaking/interracting with adults. This means he often tells the parents to wait until after hours so Moon can deal with them since, of the two, he is usually better equipped socially. However, recently, he has instead been directing the frustrated/frustrating parents to other employees. He's concerned that since he so often delegates the work of dealing with parents to Moon, his brother has become annoyed and hostile towards them, which risks the pair getting sent for repairs, or worse, decommissioned, if Moon's attitude becomes worse. He cares a lot about his brother, even if the two can never interact directly. Occasionally, he leaves friendly sticky notes for Moon. He opens the daycare earlier and extends playtime into naptime since he believes he's giving Moondrop a break. He blames himself, not realizing that it is his code that will be infected as well soon. He doesn't realize it's the virus making Moon violent, not his stress.

Switching between Sun and Moon is typically painless, depending on how willing either is to switch. If one is reluctant to switch, it tends to be more painful. Because Moon has been trying to force a switch, their switches have been extremely painful. That, paired with the fact that Sun has been reluctant to let Moon take control, means that even natural switching has become difficult. It can even cause them to cry out in pain and is associated with the sound of grinding metal plates. This often scares the kids and has made employees very concerned.
