Shadow Freddy was the first actual purple animatronic.

According to the Freddy Files, inside of the Codes, Glitches, and Secrets section of FNaF 3, the name of the Shadow Freddy that appears in Five Nights at Freddy's 3 is called Crumpled Freddy Suit.

Will insta-kill all opponents under 30% of their normal health.

Has a chance to insta-kill multiple opponents but has a lower chance than Unscrew. Shadow Freddy appears in FNaF world as a protagonist, he has a chance to appear in the Deep-Metal Mine and if he is defeated then he will join your party and become a playable character. As soon it happens, the entire minigame cuts to black, later revealing Scrap Baby's salvage scene. In the fourth level, he begins duplicating, causing the game to glitch, until a wall of shadow variants block the child off completely. In the beginning minigame, Shadow Freddy first appears in the third level imitating the movements of the player and blocking them. He can also be seen in the office as a harmless easter egg. While the Freddy suit is recognized as purple due to its association with the purple figure, its purple coloration and the darker color of its hat and bowtie lends credit to the theory this particular animatronic is indeed Shadow Freddy. Within the in-between night mini-games, Shadow Freddy is seen, and utters the phrase 'follow me,' to lure the animatronics to a secluded spot, so that William Afton may ambush and dismantle them. Shadow Freddy in the office, enhanced to show it's true colours Five Nights at Freddy's 3 Brightening up this image reveals that this creature is purple in color as with several other key items/characters in the franchise, bearing comparisons to the purple figure from the secret mini-games, the Marionette's 'tears,' Nightmare Fredbear's hat and bowtie among other things.

It appears to be in a slumped position, similar to that of Golden Freddy's. He will shut the game off if the player observes him for too long (without a jumpscare), much similar to Golden Freddy's role in the first game or Nightmare's effect in the fourth. It appears in Parts/Service, sitting in the location Bonnie normally sits. In Five Nights at Freddy's 2, the player may rarely encounter what seems to be a shadow or a dark model of Golden Freddy, who is in fact Shadow Freddy. He is an easter egg in Five Nights at Freddy's 2, one of the two secondary antagonist of Five Nights at Freddy's 3 (alongside Phantom Freddy), and a minor antagonist in Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator. Shadow Freddy (also known as Shadow Fredbear) is a supporting antagonist throughout the series.
