Huggy Wuggy was originally created by Playtime Co. as a lovable toy designed to be embraced by children. It quickly became the company’s most successful product. However, prior to the events of the game, Huggy Wuggy was modified—its human conscience was transferred into it, corrupting its personality and transforming it into a monstrous creature.
In his initial appearance, Huggy Wuggy tries to deceive the protagonist by pretending to be a statue. Once the player manages to retrieve the key and restore power in a specific room, Huggy Wuggy vanishes from his pedestal. Throughout the game, he stalks the player from vents and inaccessible high places. The monster finally emerges from the shadows in the dark and chases the player through conveyor belt tunnels. If the player fails to reach the catwalk at the end of the belt, Huggy Wuggy appears to snatch and kill them with his teeth.
If the player reaches the catwalk, they must push a box to block Huggy Wuggy and then destroy him, resulting in both of them falling. In the end, Huggy Wuggy is seen falling into the void, colliding with pipes, but it remains unknown whether he survived or was killed in the fall.
