Dug

For other uses, see Dug (disambiguation).

Dug makes his first and only appearance in The Return to Freddy's 2 as a minor antagonist. He is an entertainer at the newly opened Fredbear's Family Diner, where he entertains children and grownups while they eat pizza. During night and day, he walks around to keep his servos from locking up just like his robot friends, as mentioned by Alison. He is possessed by BFP who is responsible for the animatronics aggressive behavior during the night, due to his fury at not being able to find someone to free him from his curse.

Appearance[]

Dug looks to be a tad poorly-modeled animatronic. He is a brown, and light brown dog animatronic with two long droopy ears, each with a light brown color inside of them. The model of Dug has a similar fashion to the Toy Animatronics from the original FNAF series, as he has red-rosy cheeks and a plastic costume design. He also has three black buttons on his stomach and blue bright eyes.

Behavior[]

Dug first becomes active on Night 4 and onward (along with Sugar). Dug will start in Party Room 1, (albeit off-camera) before then proceeding to move into the player’s office hallway. Unlike most of the other animatronics, he is actually not fooled by the Freddy Mask or the flashlight; so to fend him off, the player must flip up the monitor and play some audio in Party Room 1 to lure Dug back to where he started, or else he will jumpscare the player. He is also the one of the least active animatronics, along with Sugar.

Trivia[]

Dug is based off the character of the same name from the Pixar film UP.
Dug is mentioned on the Night 4 phone call, with it explaining that he got his official name after the kids called him that.
Dug appears in the one of the minigames in The Return to Freddy's 3.
As of now, Dug has only made a physical appearance in TRTF 2. On top of that, he is seemingly the least referenced animatronic in the series.
- However, Dug did make a minor cameo in one of the minigames in The Return to Freddy's 3, so he wasn't completely absent from the TRTF Saga after TRTF 2.
Dug, Sally, and Koly were intended to receive Torture counterparts, but they had yet to be modeled, according to Tyler Ahlström's old Twitter account.
- During TRTF5’s later stages, it was said by Psonday (the developer of the Night Shift at Freddy’s series) was going to model Torture Dug, Koly, and Sally [1].
  - It is unknown if their models were ever shown.
Dug technically has the shortest path out of all of the animatronics in the game, with him starting in one of the party rooms before appearing in the office hallway.
Contrary to popular belief, Dug's model was actually changed from the beta version of the game to the full game.
- Due to an unknown reason, Dug's beta model is used for Dug's custom night icon and jumpscare in the full game.
- The differences between the two models can be seen with Dug's eyes. Beta Dug's eyes are closer together than Dug's model in the final game. Beta Dug also has square holes around his eyes when Dug's model in the final game doesn't.
Dug, Kitty FazCat, and Sugar are the only Toy animatronics that are seen in the game.
Dug, Foxy, and The Puppet are the only animatronics who must be fended off by using a mechanic other than the Freddy head.
