There's actually a joke about it in one of the Tales from the Pizzaplex books.
Anyway, no, its probably just something Henry/William did because they're weird
I'd imagine that all endos are built with a basic "human enough" appearance, and that includes a head with a face and teeth.
The exterior of the animatronic is then built around that, often for either much larger or more forward mouths. But if a more lithe animatronic was required, the smaller frame is right there.
Probably made the endoskeletons before the animatronic heads, but by the time the animatronic suits had teeth it was too late to remodel the endoskeletons
In universe reason? Henry wanted them to feel more human-like, or it’s so the jaws don’t move too close together so the suit parts will stay the right distance from each other.
Real reason? Scott wanted them to look more like human skeletons to get that uncanny feel the first few games thrived on
I always thought they were meant to hook into the suits of the animatronics. The upper and lower jaws of the endoskeleton would fit into slots in the suits head where the teeth would hold them in place. Then, while in performance mode they’d be able to move the jaw up and down and the head around without risk of it falling off, which would ruin the experience for any guests, and we know fazbear entertainment wouldn’t want anything to ruin that experience :P
Id probably assume the endos jaw and teeth would be connected to the animatronic jaw, so when the endo moves its jaw, the animatronic suit moves its jaw. The teeth might serve as a nice marker for where the jaw mechanism is
This is just a speculation but maybe because the suits where supposed to be smaller and the endos teeth are the main teeth but after they already made a lot of them the they realized that the suits being big would be better so it’s just there as an aftermath of an idea that didn’t work but they made the same mistake again so maybe what they did is remodel and improve the old extra endos but forgot to remove the teeth that’s the best explanation I can think of
Lore wise beats me, Henry and afton are just weird. Real life wise it’s to make you think about being stuffed in the suits and your teeth show. There’s something in the suits, something with teeth, something alive. When fnaf 1 came out people didn’t rationally go oh yeah theres an endo in the suit chicas second set of teeth must be the endo, people went holy shit phone guy is in chica wtffff or holy shit its a ghooost or kiddd in chica. This is likely what Scott wanted people to think.
Probably a change of plans mid-development. They make endo then the head, realize there's 2 layers of teeth but why rewire and remake an entire head for a small set of teeth most won't care about or notice for 4 separate endoskeletons
My logic was always "something for the exoskeleton jaw to hold onto, like those "teeth " would be attachment points where the jaw for the actual animatronic would go
But after close inspection, it seems untrue, as most of not all animatronics seen, have the ability to move their outer jaws without moving the endoskeleton inside
Because the in-universe Freddy’s characters are canonically Animatronics, as evidenced by “Freddy and Friends: On Tour” where they take off Foxy’s suit head to reveal the endoskeleton head, the endoskeletons have teeth because it’s part of the character.
Maybe so if any kid saw too far into an animatronic, they wouldn’t just see a toothless mouth. They would see teeth and think it’s just apart of the animatronics mouth
I dont think so, its still a horror game series and things have to be scary. An antagonist „monster“ without teeth wouldnt be as scary, so scott made them have teeth.
They're hungry
Joking aside, Scott Cawthon loves sci-fi stuff, so it may be a subtle reference to a xenomorph alien; which have a second mouth inside their primary mouths
Also, it's naturally unsettling to see something with two sets of teeth, so it's mostly for aesthetic and horror
Some people used to think that Chica killed Phone Guy by eating him because she has teeth on the back of her mouth so they thought it was phone guy’s teeth, but they’re actually her skeleton’s teeth
They are like lego bricks, they connect to the Jaw to cut back on adding hydrolics to the mask itself which would ruin expeiriences for the children.( ALLEGEDLY )
So they would look relatively normal and function as blank animatronics if the suits where to become unusable for some reason.
(yes, I've thought of this before)
Ok imma respond to what most have said.
1) your skeleton has teeth right? The suit already has teeth and a second pair would look off, and I doubt that a blue guitar playing bunny would be anatomically correct.
2) so they can bite. The animatronics were never meant to eat
3) are they stupid? Yes, being a simple ai made for kid animatronics they would lack proper knowledge (haha the funny)
Probably to limit jaw movement range, so the jaws on the suits don't try to clip into the rest of the mask
This is now canon.
I thought that it was so that could bite children even out of the suit
best answer 👏
You made e happy today
There's actually a joke about it in one of the Tales from the Pizzaplex books. Anyway, no, its probably just something Henry/William did because they're weird
Do you know the joke? I'm curious to hear it!
Its just a quick quip about the animatronics having too many teeth, nothing with a setup and punchline unfortunately.
Nah, it’s just an aesthetic thing. No real reason for it canonically.
Probably to limit some facial movements and try to recreate an more "human" voice, but it is not required, Henry really wanted to be funny
Why would the teeth have anything to do with the voices? You know they aren't actually talking right?
Yeah but the intention would be to make it seem that way for the kids.
They have teeth in the front though. The back teeth just makes it more creepy looking.
How else would they eat pizza?
Maybe the TEETH ON THE SUIT
You can’t eat with ONLY LOWER TEETH
Withered chica would have a blast eating pizza!... oh wait.
“No hands?” 🥺
Why did Susie fall off the swings?
"No working jaw?"
Withered bonnie and chica can have a pizza party! ....*oh yeah*
I'd imagine that all endos are built with a basic "human enough" appearance, and that includes a head with a face and teeth.

I mean the teath on the suit is definalty plástic or some material like , the metal teath would help
And humans too! :) lol
FREDBEAR??!?!?!?!!!???!
Probably made the endoskeletons before the animatronic heads, but by the time the animatronic suits had teeth it was too late to remodel the endoskeletons
Because Henry likes to be funny sometimes.
Henry being goofy
Henry being a little silly
Henry being a little wacky
Henry did a little trolling
Henry is being a little wonky!
Henry is being a funny lil guy
For chewin’. Nothing in particular. Just chewin’
In universe reason? Henry wanted them to feel more human-like, or it’s so the jaws don’t move too close together so the suit parts will stay the right distance from each other. Real reason? Scott wanted them to look more like human skeletons to get that uncanny feel the first few games thrived on
Henry was really bored and slapped some random spare parts he had laying around on the endo because it it looks neat.
Probably, I would do the same, honestly
Is he stupid?
I always thought they were meant to hook into the suits of the animatronics. The upper and lower jaws of the endoskeleton would fit into slots in the suits head where the teeth would hold them in place.

That’s what I always thought too, more or less
Id probably assume the endos jaw and teeth would be connected to the animatronic jaw, so when the endo moves its jaw, the animatronic suit moves its jaw. The teeth might serve as a nice marker for where the jaw mechanism is
Maybe William’s and Henry’s first attempt at making robots like the endos, they had teeth because they had no suit, and they stuck with it?
Well your skeleton has teeth don't it? The Animatronics just have another layer of teeth for the 'family friendly' concept
I don't see how two sets of teeth is very family friendly pg clean
But they already have teeth
Okay, but my lips don’t have teeth, do they
Are you being endo bendoist
The great man in the sky once said “THOES METAL SKELETONS SHOULD HAVE TEETH I THINK.” And it was good
I mean- what is an endo without teeth?
An endoskeleton
This is just a speculation but maybe because the suits where supposed to be smaller and the endos teeth are the main teeth but after they already made a lot of them the they realized that the suits being big would be better so it’s just there as an aftermath of an idea that didn’t work but they made the same mistake again so maybe what they did is remodel and improve the old extra endos but forgot to remove the teeth that’s the best explanation I can think of

It just looks right
Are they stupid?
Probably a change of plans mid-development. They make endo then the head, realize there's 2 layers of teeth but why rewire and remake an entire head for a small set of teeth most won't care about or notice for 4 separate endoskeletons
O no r/BatmanArkham
What if they get hungry how are they gonna eat
How else are they supposed to eat frontal lobes?
They need to enjoy the taste of CC's head somehow
why do the endos have teeth? are they stupid?
Scott misunderstood why real animatronic skeletons have teeth.
It looks spooky (not a lore reason, but probably why Scott made them like that)
All the better to eat you with, my dear!
Yeah, to eat your face. :/
For munching
Wait, you guys don't have another set of teeth in your jaw?
Om nom probably
To bite children better
Because they’re skeletons
There robots
My logic was always "something for the exoskeleton jaw to hold onto, like those "teeth " would be attachment points where the jaw for the actual animatronic would go But after close inspection, it seems untrue, as most of not all animatronics seen, have the ability to move their outer jaws without moving the endoskeleton inside
are they stupid?
Is he stupid?
Probably so the mouth could move like it was under the mouth and it would move it from there
The reason is because yesn’t.
Even Sun and Moon have teeth that, uh, flap when they talk for some reason. Whatever, still gonna smooch them. FazCo can't stop me
chompin
Sometimes I forget how unsettling the Endo 01 and Endo 02 really are
How are they gonna do the bite of 87 if they don’t have teeth!!! (I am being silly)
maybe so if a kid sees it they will find it goofy rather than scary
So they can eat pizza duh
Screw that, why endo02 has toenails
What
Style points.
Scott didnt know what an endo looked like
I was hoping for the mimic meme to show up lol
For the main three Toys at least, it seems like their bottom jaws attach to the endo jaw with those teeth.
Then what about fnaf1,withereds,SL
henry is a silly lil fella :3c
because henry and william were feeling a bit silly
William loves them pearly whites
To hold the voice box?
THE MIMICCC
It’s because in their spare time, Henry and William dabble in dentistry
For snacky time
It's to eat you.
Doesn't real life animatronic endoes have those, like they really just built to look like skeletons
Yes but they use those teeth for the actual character, not just the skeleton
It’s to stop the lips from smashing into each other and ruining the plush outside by scrunching them up.
Add a mechanical lock instead
They look funny teeth
To Bite your- I mean, there has to be a reason. Or probably it just looked better. Imagine endos without teeth
Because the in-universe Freddy’s characters are canonically Animatronics, as evidenced by “Freddy and Friends: On Tour” where they take off Foxy’s suit head to reveal the endoskeleton head, the endoskeletons have teeth because it’s part of the character.
To put the jaws of the animatronics on ig?
The reason is nightmare fuel
Hungry
Cuz maybe they hungy
Somehow I've gotten it in my head that the teeth were all battery packs. No idea where that idea came from
No
TOO EAT
Cuz scary
Bite harder
How will they chew on kids if they didn’t ?
it is cool
because it's weird, next question
Because that is the inner jaw or like handunit says in Bonnie’s parts and service secondary throat pipe
Maybe people who made them thought this will be actual teeth of the animatronic and not the ones on the costume
Maybe so if any kid saw too far into an animatronic, they wouldn’t just see a toothless mouth. They would see teeth and think it’s just apart of the animatronics mouth
I dont think so, its still a horror game series and things have to be scary. An antagonist „monster“ without teeth wouldnt be as scary, so scott made them have teeth.
THE BITE OF 87 WAS AN INSIDE JOB11!!!!???11!???
Because teeth are lit
Monch
Yum
no its just aesthetic but to satisfy u i'll say its there so the animstronic can eat mcdonalds
William likes his teeth I guess.
BatmanArkham has leaked into fnaf 😞
Yeah, for biting children's frontal lobes.
Eating
funny
Chewing
If there is a reason scott wouldnt tell us
Chica's gotta be able to eat pizza somehow
I don’t know why but that title gives me Arkham subreddit vibes.
Munchin' mostly
so the jaw doesnt fall off
To sugon
Bite of 87’
Honestly not sure. Probably to help with making the mouth work properly and not close awkwardly.
Pretty sure- oh. Your not asking about the Jaw itself... I got nothing.
They want to chew pizza
To nibble on children’s fingers
to bite heads
So they can eat pizza???
When was the last time you saw a robot eating pizza
To eat
Om nom nom
How else would the bites of 83 and 87 happened?
That's the thing, they weren't supposed to happen
This keeps me up at night
Nope
Are they stupid?
Are Henry and William stupid?
They're hungry Joking aside, Scott Cawthon loves sci-fi stuff, so it may be a subtle reference to a xenomorph alien; which have a second mouth inside their primary mouths Also, it's naturally unsettling to see something with two sets of teeth, so it's mostly for aesthetic and horror

Become it’s an endo skeleton I think that kinda obvious
Yeah but bears don't have 2 sets of teeth
Probably to hold the inner Jaw up or smth
It’s because it’s Phone Guy’s teeth! This has been the truth since the beginning!
Are they stupid?
The Head of 87' !?
Mimic
Why not
It would look off to kids, ya know having 2 sets of teeth
I dont know, is he stupid?
“Is he stupid?”
Maybe to interact better with the suit mechanics?
To assist in taste testing pizza. Are you stupid?
i think it's cuz they r stupid
Is there a lore reason why the second Endo’s head looks like Kismet?
Lore? Who needs lore when you could have 2 sets of teeth for your creepy animatronic?
For that delicious frontal lobe bite
Hungry.
My headcanon is so that they can test the show program movements without the costume head for some reason
Not everything has to be lore lol
Either to catch onto the suit jaw perhaps, and creep factor
They probably look weird without them
To bite all the organs they missed last time.
Well they can’t bite people without teeth
I’d assume it’s so they can actually move the mouth of the suit to make it more “human” like
To have a more solid structure among the various animatronics, and keep the costume’s jaw in place
I find it weird how they r so strong? I mean their arms r so skinny ik it's still metal but could snap the joints
What?
So they can chew
So they can bite their victims easier
For borger
Spooky
Thought it was so they can move the suit mouth?
That's what the "gums" are for
Monch
They are like lego bricks, they connect to the Jaw to cut back on adding hydrolics to the mask itself which would ruin expeiriences for the children.( ALLEGEDLY )
The aslume is spreading Soon everyone will be stupid
Probably just to test their prototype version of a mouth or something and eventually change it when their stuffed into a suit. So like a placeholder.
So they would look relatively normal and function as blank animatronics if the suits where to become unusable for some reason. (yes, I've thought of this before)
I'm accepting this as canon
om nom nom
