Phantom Puppet is another one of the six phantom animatronics in Five Nights at Freddy's 3. This version of The Puppet looks almost the same as the Puppet from the second game except that it has a charred and burnt look to it like Phantom Freddy. Many think that his burnt look foreshadows the fact that the attraction burns at the end of the game. Phantom Puppet rarely appears in cam 8. Once you view him in cam 8 he will appear in the office and closely stare directly into the your face, causing a ventilation error and blocking the use of both the Maintenance Panel and Monitor. After it leaves, Phantom Puppet causes an audio error, much like Phantom Mangle. Once in the room, Phantom Puppet you can't make it leave, it must leave on its own. However, during this period, it allows time for Springtrap to move closer to you while also making you defenseless to the other phantoms who may attack, even while Phantom Puppet is in The Office. Phantom Puppet is one of two phantom animatronics that has no jumpscare, the other being Phantom Mangle. Even though it has no jumpscare, it also doesn't kill you like Phantom Freddy and every other Phantom animatronic.
