Who Killed Bonnie in Security Breach? Unraveling the Mystery
The question of who killed Bonnie in Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach is one of the most hotly debated topics in the FNAF community. While the game doesn’t offer a definitively clear answer, the prevailing theory, supported by in-game evidence and the events of the Ruin DLC, points towards The Mimic as the culprit. The motive, however, is shrouded in the Mimic’s twisted desire to recreate past tragedies and sow chaos. Evidence suggests that Montgomery Gator may have had a part in Bonnie’s disappearance, possibly destroying him to take his place in the band. The Mimic seems to have finished the job, hiding the body and allowing the Pizzaplex to cover up the event.
Dissecting the Evidence: Monty or the Mimic?
The evidence surrounding Bonnie’s demise is fragmented and open to interpretation, fueling endless speculation. Let’s examine the key pieces:
-
Monty’s Ambition: Monty’s jealous nature and desire to be the star are well-documented. Many believe he saw Bonnie as an obstacle and took action to eliminate him. The golf minigame ending, where Freddy is found in a dumpster, hints at Monty’s desire to usurp leadership. However, this doesn’t necessarily confirm outright murder. It could just show Monty’s competitive streak and the intent to remove Freddy.
-
Bonnie’s Disappearance: Bonnie’s sudden replacement with Monty in the band raises suspicion. Where did Bonnie go? The Pizzaplex’s cover-up suggests something sinister occurred. The official story is likely a fabricated excuse to mask the truth.
-
The State of Bonnie Bowl: Bonnie Bowl, Bonnie’s dedicated area in the Pizzaplex, is closed and in disrepair. This suggests something significant happened there, potentially linked to Bonnie’s disappearance.
-
Ruin DLC Reveals: The Ruin DLC offers perhaps the most compelling evidence. It implies the presence of The Mimic near Bonnie Bowl and its propensity for violence and mimicry of past events. It shows that it attacked and hid Bonnie.
-
Bonnie’s Dismembered Body: The discovery of Bonnie’s broken animatronic body with holes in his chest and head paints a clear picture of a violent end. Cleaning bots found the body parts, signifying a gruesome scene that the Pizzaplex attempted to clean up.
The Mimic’s Role: The True Killer?
The Mimic, introduced more fully in the Ruin DLC, is a highly intelligent endoskeleton capable of mimicking sounds, behaviors, and even voices. Its prime directive seems to be recreating past tragedies and inflicting pain and suffering. Given its presence in the Pizzaplex and its tendency towards violence, it’s highly probable that the Mimic played a significant role in Bonnie’s destruction. The Mimic attacked Bonnie, destroyed Bonnie, and then dragged him to Bonnie Bowl.
Conspiracy and Cover-Up
Whatever the precise sequence of events, it’s clear that Fazbear Entertainment is complicit in a cover-up. The company likely knows the truth about Bonnie’s fate but chooses to conceal it to protect its image and profits. Replacing Bonnie with Monty and fabricating a story about his “retirement” is a calculated move to minimize negative publicity. This behavior aligns with the company’s history of prioritizing profit over safety and truth, as evidenced by numerous incidents throughout the FNAF lore.
The narrative of FNAF is built around the idea of learning through games.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Did Montgomery Gator directly kill Bonnie?
While the evidence strongly suggests Monty was involved in Bonnie’s disappearance, it doesn’t definitively prove he was the sole killer. It’s possible he damaged Bonnie or incapacitated him, leaving the Mimic to finish the job. At the very least, it appears Monty had some form of involvement in Bonnie’s demise.
2. What was Monty’s motive for wanting Bonnie gone?
Monty’s primary motive seems to be jealousy and ambition. He envied Bonnie’s popularity and position in the band, seeing him as an obstacle to his own rise to stardom. Eliminating Bonnie would clear the way for Monty to take his place.
3. Is there any evidence that Glamrock Freddy knew about Bonnie’s death?
Glamrock Freddy’s behavior is ambiguous. While he doesn’t explicitly mention Bonnie’s fate, his glitchy behavior and potential possession by a past entity could indicate a hidden awareness or knowledge of the events surrounding Bonnie’s disappearance.
4. What role did Vanny play in Bonnie’s death?
Vanny’s influence over the animatronics is a significant factor in Security Breach. While there’s no direct evidence linking her to Bonnie’s death, her control over the other animatronics and her connection to the Mimic suggest she could have indirectly played a role, perhaps influencing Monty or facilitating the Mimic’s actions.
5. What happened to Bonnie’s animatronic parts after his death?
Bonnie’s dismembered animatronic parts were reportedly found by cleaning bots within the Pizzaplex. The specific location of these parts and their ultimate fate remain unclear, but it’s likely Fazbear Entertainment attempted to dispose of them discreetly to cover up the incident.
6. Could Bonnie still be alive in some form?
In the world of FNAF, death is rarely the end. While Bonnie’s physical body is destroyed, his spirit or consciousness could potentially linger within the Pizzaplex, influencing events or even possessing another animatronic.
7. Is Burntrap related to Bonnie’s disappearance?
Burntrap is the animatronic body inhabited by William Afton, a recurring villain in the FNAF series. While Burntrap is not Glamrock Bonnie, his presence in the Pizzaplex and his connection to Vanny and the Mimic suggest a possible indirect connection to Bonnie’s fate.
8. What is the significance of Bonnie Bowl being closed?
The closure of Bonnie Bowl is a significant clue in the mystery of Bonnie’s disappearance. It suggests that the area was the scene of a traumatic event, potentially the site of Bonnie’s destruction or the location where his body parts were discovered.
9. How does Bonnie’s death impact the overall story of Security Breach?
Bonnie’s death adds a layer of darkness and mystery to the narrative of Security Breach. It highlights the corrupt and dangerous nature of Fazbear Entertainment and underscores the theme of hidden truths and corporate cover-ups.
10. What is the connection between Bonnie and Toy Bonnie?
Bonnie and Toy Bonnie are distinct animatronic characters from different FNAF games. While they share a similar rabbit-like design, they are not the same entity. Toy Bonnie is simply a redesigned version of Bonnie, introduced in Five Nights at Freddy’s 2.
11. Is there a specific minigame that reveals Bonnie’s death?
There is no specific minigame that explicitly shows Bonnie’s death. However, the Monty Golf minigame provides subtle hints about Monty’s ambition and potential involvement in Bonnie’s disappearance. The Ruin DLC, however, does shed more light on what happened to Bonnie.
12. What is Glitch Bonnie and how is it related to this?
Glitch Bonnie, as mentioned, appears in POPGOES Arcade 2 as a representation of Simon Fitzgerald’s soul and a sign of Springtrap’s presence. It’s not directly connected to the Glamrock Bonnie’s fate in Security Breach. It’s a separate character and concept within the wider FNAF fan game universe.
13. What is the truth of Bonnie’s soul?
According to established lore, Bonnie the Bunny’s animatronic is haunted by the soul of Jeremy, one of the missing children. This tragic backstory adds another layer of depth to the animatronic’s fate.
14. Is Glamrock Chica evil?
Glamrock Chica, under Vanny’s influence, becomes one of the antagonists of Security Breach. She is not inherently evil but is brainwashed into attacking Gregory, showing the extent of Vanny’s control over the animatronics.
15. What arm was Bonnie missing?
The Withered Bonnie animatronic, which is very damaged, is missing his left arm. This physical disfigurement could be relevant from a character design perspective.
In conclusion, while the definitive answer to who killed Bonnie in Security Breach remains elusive, the evidence points towards The Mimic as the primary culprit, with Montgomery Gator possibly playing a supporting role. The mystery surrounding Bonnie’s death adds another layer of intrigue to the already complex and captivating world of Five Nights at Freddy’s.
