Blank the Animatronic is one of the antagonists of Five Nights at Candy's and Five Nights at Candy's Remastered. He is a drawing attraction that is meant for children to write and draw whatever they want on his body.
While Blank doesn't appear in the main gameplay of Five Nights at Candy's 3, he can be seen in the Candy's Adventure Minigame in his Original Form and in the glitch minigame.
Appearance
FNaC 1 / Remastered
Blank is a somewhat white-colored template animatronic with faded colors on his body, where children took crayons and drew on him. His body appears to be damaged, missing the endoskeleton on his left forearm and the back of his head, as well as his left hand being completely missing and he has a few holes on his body. This is because the previous guard attempted to destroy Blank with a wrench.
FNaC 2
Blank can also be seen unwithered in the first minigame, he appears to be the same as he was in the first game's minigame, but in the Night 6 2nd Minigame, the player can see Blank's original appearance.
Mechanics
Starting from Night 3 (and rarely Night 2), he goes through transitions from lifting up his head, to then standing up, and then disappearing. Immediately after he leaves Cam 011, he will be in Cam 05, and checking on him while he is in this camera will cause him to punch the window in an attempt to break into The Office. This can be slightly delayed if the player doesn't check the camera. If the door is not shut when he attacks, he will smash through the window and cause the power to flicker then go out shortly after; this will soon result in his jumpscare, ending your run.
It should be noted that on Night 5 he becomes extremely aggressive and should be the player's main priority, along with Old Candy. The player should constantly switch between Cam 11 to keep track of Blank and Cam 6 to check if Old Candy is at the door. The player should never check Cam 5.
It should be noted that Blank is rendered completely immobile by looking at Cam 11 with Night Vision enabled, and that he will be unable to move for a seemingly random amount of time (usually a few seconds) after you either stop looking at Cam 11 or when you disable Night Vision. This is fairly similar to how Foxy behaves in FNAF 1. Unlike Foxy, Blank seems to become less aggressive after he attacks. He seems to not only spend additional time disabled after each attack, but checking the cameras seem to disable him for more time as well. Something notable about this mechanic is that after 4 attacks he will be disabled for the rest of the night.
FNaC 2 Minigame
Night 2
Blank can be found sitting inactive in the Drawing Room but cannot be interacted with.
Night 3
Starting from the Drawing Room, the player controls Blank to search the restaurant for four pages that, upon picking them up, are shown as children's drawings of their experiences at Candy's Burgers and Fries. The chairs have changed color from red to green, and Chester's curtains have been removed completely, a new table having been moved into the room. The pictures collected are:
- A drawing of the faces of New Candy and New Cindy
- A stick figure of a sad/confused child that says "Where is Chester?"
- A child drawing a mustache on Blank with the caption "For Blank"
- A kid playing guitar with New Candy and New Cindy with the caption "Our band!!!"
After viewing the fourth collected drawing, the minigame will end.
Night 4
Blank can again be found in the Drawing Room.
Night 5
Blank can once again be found in the Drawing Room.
Night 6
Starting in the Drawing Room, the player controls a notably cleaner, unbroken Blank to collect another set of five children's drawings scattered throughout the restaurant.
The pictures collected are: 1) a drawing of a cat's head with the captions "My favorite cat" and "Candy", presumably referring to Old Candy, indicating he was still in service at this point in time, 2) a child dancing to a boombox's music with Old Candy, 3) a sketch of the outside of the restaurant with the name "Candy's Burgers an(the name is unfinished)", 4) what is clearly the Old Candy animatronic in front of a trio of happy children labeled "Friends!!!".
After leaving the room with the fourth picture, the player is immediately made to view the fifth image, a frightful sketch of Shadow Candy's face. When the player finishes viewing the picture, they will see Shadow Candy standing in front of them, and the minigame will end.
Trivia
- He is also known as "The Window Cleaner" by some fans, because the way he punches the office window would make him resemble a bad window cleaner.
- As Phone Guy explains, Blank has a special plastic coating that allows kids to draw on him.
- Similar to how Mangle in Five Nights at Freddy's 2 is a take-apart attraction as a result of being ruined by children.
- As stated by the Phone Guy in Five Nights at Candy's, Blank was repeatedly beaten with a wrench by the previous security guard, who became mentally unstable after experiencing the supernatural events throughout the restaurant. This was the cause of his damage and the holes around him.
- As stated by the Phone Guy, Blank has attempted to break through the security office's window before, and cracked the glass when doing so. However, when he attacks it in the game he causes the glass to completely shatter.
- The fact that the glass shatters in-game could be explained if the glass in the window was never replaced
- Some objects also move/fall over after Blank punches the window in the game.
- The fact that the glass shatters in-game could be explained if the glass in the window was never replaced
- Blank and Shadow Candy are the only animatronics who attack through the office window.
- Blank and Shadow Candy (pre-remaster) are also the only animatronics who don't enter the office through the doors.
- Blank has the same behavior from Foxy in Five Nights at Freddy's 1, remaining in one camera and slowly preparing to move, and will instantly kill the player if the proper precautions are not taken.
- There is a rare chance that Blank may attack the player on early nights, although it is highly unlikely and will only happen near the end of the night.
- Seen in a Cutscene, Blank had eyebrows before he got broken.
- Blank emits a different sound in his jumpscare, along with RAT and Old Candy.
- Various Drawings on him are references to the FNaF series.
- Under his left eye, a drawing of Foxy can be seen.
- On the left of his torso, a drawing of Freddy can be seen, but it is relatively small, making it difficult to see.
- On the top right of his torso, a drawing of Bonnie can be seen.
- On the top of his right eye, a drawing of Chica can be seen, but it is small and harder to see due to the coloring.
- On the top of his left eye, a drawing of William Afton killing an child.
- On Blank's lower jaw, 2 written names can be seen. The names are "Jane" and "Bob".
- As evidenced by the FNaC 2 minigames, Blank appears to be the most popular attraction at Candy's Burgers & Fries by his being active the longest period of time, being introduced with Old Candy around 1964 and remaining in service at least until 1993, after Old Candy had been retired, and the rest of the FNaC 1 cast had been introduced (though The Penguin's retirement is unconfirmed), and a revamped Candy and Cindy had been introduced.
- Blank's appearance is very similar to Springtrap of Five Nights at Freddy's 3, except that he doesn't have a snout, nor does he have ears; he shows much less signs of deterioration; and he has stubs where his ears are supposed to be. He also has a bright white color.
- His broken left arm in FNAC, FNAC: R and FNAC 2 is the similarity to how Afton appears after the fire in FNaF 3 and during FNaF 6.
- Blank seems to reference Sans from Undertale in one of his lines in Candy's Adventure; winking at the camera while saying "I know a shortcut", possibly referring to Sans' way of teleporting.

Withered Blank, known as Blank (Withered) in the extra, is one of the antagonists of Five Nights at Candy's 2, he was a drawing attraction and was abandoned and left at the Rowboatics Corp. factory after the event of FNaC. Although he rarely appears on the Fourth Night, he makes his full appearance on the Fifth Night.
Appearance
Withered Blank is the most withered out of any of the animatronics, with larger holes and deep cuts. Large proportions for the left side of his face were torn off, with his endoskeleton face partly visible. He has a huge rip from the chest down to his pelvis, while the hole from the right side of his chest was bigger. He was missing the suit parts from both shoulders, left bicep, right forearm, and legs from the knee-down. While his left forearm was entirely gone, his right hand was ripped off. Children's drawings and writings on his suit were washed off, leaving with a more smeared texture.
Mechanics
Blank sometimes activates on Night 4, but this is rare and he only appears later in the night, if at all. He seems to always be active on Night 5 no matter what, however. He acts much like the standard animatronics (Withered New Candy and Withered New Cindy), wandering from room to room. He is lured away by the phones as well. If you call a phone in his room, he will disconnect it almost instantly, deactivating it for a short while.
Trivia
- In FNaC 2, the children's' drawings on him seem to be gone. This is likely because of age.
- Upon closer inspection, the "mold" on his body appears to be the faded remains of drawings on him.
