Glitchtrap (also known as Malhare, as a portmanteau of the words 'malware' and 'hare') is the main antagonist in Five Nights at Freddy's VR: Help Wanted. He seems to be William Afton manifested as a digital virus within The Freddy Fazbear Virtual Experience.


Physical Appearance

Glitchtrap takes on the form of a figure wearing a Spring Bonnie fur suit variant costume who is a grinning, bipedal rabbit made of golden-yellow color. He is wearing a purple vest speckled with star prints - reminiscent of the material of the original Pirate's Cove of FNaF 1 - and a purple bow tie with two buttons near the top of his chest. Smaller details include rotten teeth and stitches stretching across his waving hand. He often appears translucent, progressing into a less-spectral form over time.

He also possesses vivid purple eyes with small pupils, which are the first thing visible when he starts to appear to the player's right. In Blacklight Mode, his eyes will turn blue with white, circular pupils. He also has large whiskers on each side of his face, three eyelashes on both of his eyes, and large arching eyebrows.

In his beginning development stage after the first tape is found, Glitchtrap's form is ghostly transparent, with no real amount of detail other than completely green colors and glowing purple eyes.

History

Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted

Although he lurks behind the player for a majority of the game, very little data about Glitchtrap is truly known. At this time, there is little explanation for Glitchtrap's appearance other than the small pieces of information scattered throughout Help Wanted. According to the various tapes that can be found within the game, this Spring Bonnie began to materialize after the game's beta testing began in full. Although it is not confirmed to be the case, it is highly implied that Glitchtrap may have come into the game through the scanning of old circuit boards, which may have contained William Afton's ghost or memories, which burrowed into the video game code to create complex and malicious AI systems. This created a strange and supernatural entity that deeply disturbed the beta testers who encountered it.

According to the various tape's audio, Glitchtrap is said to be made out of coding akin to a virus, or some other form of malicious software that latches onto files around it.

Glitchtrap first appears in the doorway out of the player's reach, watching from there. As the player progresses by collecting more tapes found in the main games, he gets closer and closer, eventually looming directly behind the player.

A 8-bit version of Glitchtrap appears briefly in the trailer, the reason is unknown.
