The marionette

The Phantom Puppet is an antagonist in Five Nights at Freddy's 3 and is one of the six phantom animatronics in the game. She is a hallucination of a burned and damaged Puppet.

Appearance
The Phantom Puppet appears much like its Five Nights at Freddy's 2 incarnation, though her body is charred and its eyes have small white irises, much like the other phantoms. Its charred and burnt appearance possibly foreshadows the torching of the attraction.

Locations
The Phantom Puppet appears very briefly in CAM 08 and then appears in The Office depending on whether or not the player changes the Monitor's view before lowering it.

Behavior
The Phantom Puppet acts similarly to Phantom Mangle and Phantom Chica, as it only appears on CAM 08 view randomly. If the player views the Phantom Puppet in CAM 08, they are advised to immediately change the monitor's view. If this warning is not exercised, the Phantom Puppet will teleport to The Office and closely stare directly into the player's face, causing a ventilation error and blocking the use of both the Maintenance Panel and the monitor.

Once in the room, the Phantom Puppet cannot be warded off and must leave on its own, which will take approximately 17 seconds. During this period, he allows time for Springtrap to move closer to the player while also leaving the player vulnerable to the other phantoms, especially Phantom Freddy, who may attack, even while the Phantom Puppet is still in The Office.
