This may be a reference to Scott Cawthon's name, as both "Scott Cawthon" and "Stone Cold" share the same initials, "S.C.". Animdude's battle theme is titled "Stone Cold". The playable Animdude still appears in battle normally, just not during the cutscene. The same happens with Chipper's Revenge and Mr. Instead, Freddy takes the spot of leader in the cutscene, even if he isn't in either party to begin with. It was widely theorized before Update 1.2 came out that fighting Animdude with his playable version as the main team leader would trigger the Universe End ending. The background of the fight maybe a reference to the SNES game, Earthbound, as most of the battles had lightning and flashing lights. Animdude is one of three bosses to not have a health bar shown, the other two being Chipper's Revenge and Chica's Magic Rainbow. Animdude is one of the two bosses to have playable versions of themselves, the other being Chipper's Revenge. Animdude says that he is the "puppet-master", implying that he was the one 8-bit Fredbear was talking about. However, Scott confirmed in an email that the ending for hard mode isn't supposed to be taken seriously. It is possible that this boss is Scott's way of chewing out Five Nights at Freddy's widely disliked fanbase. Animdude is one of the four bosses to be as a trophy three others are Chipper's Revenge, Chica's Magic Rainbow, and Security. Animdude is the boss with the third highest health (about 100000 HP), third only to Chipper's Revenge and Chica's Magic Rainbow. Animdude is one of the two enemies in the game to give out less XP and Fazbear tokens than anyone else, the other being Chipper's Revenge. However, the chance they kill the Boss seems to be extremely slim. It is reported that Unscrew and Esc Key work on Scott. The mimic ball chip is also recommended as it can repeat an attack. It is advised to spam the "Gift Boxes" attack and, unless the player has the Shield chip, "Neon Wall" to protect against the Alarm attack. His health is incredibly high, and his attacks can kill the entire group within minutes. Since Animdude is the final boss of Hard Mode, he is a very hard boss compared to Security. In update 2 you can obtain him in the Halloween Backstage in chica's magic rainbow. After the player beats him the game will end and you will get the scott boss medal.
He mentioned that the player is the cause of his misery. If the player played in Hard Mode, he appears physically in his ultimate fight.
He is first mentioned by 8-Bit Fredbear. It is not mentioned or seen later, but can be seen by Pinwheel Funhouse in the form of light and is seen in the map in the same place. Deals 400 or more damage to all party members and pierces through defense.
