Appearance[]
Helpy[]
Helpy bears a striking resemblance to Funtime Freddy. He has a big, chubby white face, has a wide, light purple muzzle with a small black nose and a pair of buck teeth. He has small circular ears with the same light purple inside. His eyes are a bright, shiny blue. He has black eyebrows, a black top hat, and a matching bow tie. His torso is small and round, with a light purple belly and two large buttons beneath his bow tie. He has purple hands with stubby white fingers, white legs, and toeless purple feet.
In the Bonk a' Bon minigame, if Helpy is bonked at any point, his hat will be damaged when he appears next.
Helpy (Security Breach)[]
In Security Breach, Helpy gets a new design, now having a blue body and legs, with darker blue feet and palms. His face is mostly unchanged, however the purple rings around his eyes are much darker in color, and his eyebrows are now purple. The inner bit of his ears are purple and blue and his top hat is now a dark navy. Finally, he has a large purple bowtie with a magenta lightning bolt in the middle of it.
Despite not being a member of the Glamrock band, Helpy still has an instrument of his own, being a blue and purple tambourine.
Helpi (RUIN)[]
Along with his larger role in the RUIN DLC, Helpi gains an altered appearance whilst communicating to Cassie in the V.A.N.N.I. Network. Helpi is seen wearing a pair of blue coveralls, indigo gloves, and indigo shoes. He is also wearing an orange visor with a lightning bolt pattern over his left eye, and two small metallic earpieces. As well as this, his normally white body has gained a slightly pinkish hue, though this is shared with a select few posters found within the base game. Finally, at some points when talking, Helpi's eyes will change to be orange, and purple veins will appear below his ear.
Helpi is also always seen holding a Faz-Wrench.
Behavior[]
Help Wanted[]
In Five Nights At Freddy's VR: Help Wanted, illustrations of him appears on the level select monitor screen in the "The Freddy Fazbear Virtual Experience". He also cameos in Freddy's Parts and Service level, where his head is on the cap stuck in Freddy's mouth. He is also a prize that can be unlocked once the player collects 25 Faz-Tokens.
He also appears as an easter egg that spawns randomly and can be picked up and interacted with, although he doesn't do anything that affects the gameplay mechanics. He appears as a 3D model instead of an illustration.
Security Breach & RUIN[]
Helpy appears as a decal on walls, and an animated character in on monitors and save spots. His role in RUIN is significantly more notable, as he acts as a guide and helper for Cassie. Helpi is built into the Security Masks V.A.N.N.I. Network, and is able to communicate to Cassie and give her advice on how to navigate the location, how to use various tools, and help her avoid The Entity. Helpi is also able to communicate with Cassie at any point in time, as the Security Mask implanted a transponder in her.
Help Wanted 2[]
Bonk a' Bon[]
Unlike his original role in Help Wanted, Helpy plays a somewhat antagonistic role in Help Wanted 2. Helpy is featured in the Bonk a' Bon minigame, where he will occasionally appear instead of Bon-Bon or Bonnet. Whacking Helpy is actually discouraged, however, as it will deduct 1 point from your score for each Helpy that was bonked. Just like Bon-Bon, multiple Helpys can appear at a time.
Trivia[]
- Because Helpy is a static mesh in Help Wanted rather than a fully-rigged model, the Helpy easteregg and the Helpy model unlocked with 25 Faz-Tokens have the exact same pose.
- Because of this, his foot clips through the table when he is at the monitor.
- Helpy is, and remains to be, the only character from FFPS in Help Wanted.
- As of Help Wanted 2, there are now other confirmed characters from FFPS including Scrap Baby.
- He also appears briefly in the Security Breach trailer on a can and on a wall.
- Despite the base game's files referring to him as "Helpy", Helpy's name in Security Breach is spelled as "Helpi" in the RUIN DLC.
- Despite being able to talk to Cassie, Helpi does not actually speak, rather a text bubble appears whilst Helpi makes gibberish noises.
- In the secret "Brazil" ending, Helpi is seen in his Glamrock design, rather than the design used in the V.A.N.N.I. Network.
