Others believe it to be a weapon, as it is used to attack (and seemingly destroy) Freddy Fazbear, such as a screwdriver or a hammer. Followers of the 'Phone Guy is Purple Guy' theory claim the object is a phone, but others argue this is unlikely as cordless phones did not exist during the game's setting. There is quite a bit of fan speculation about the mysterious object Purple Guy holds in his ' You can't' sprite. The only instance in which Purple Guy shows any more detail than this is during the ' You can't' version of the SAVETHEM Death Minigame, in which he has glowing, white eyes, a yellow object to his chest and holds an unidentified purple object, speculated to be a phone. It isn't until Five Nights at Freddy's 3 that he retains a consistent appearance, undetailed as it may be though he has expressive eyes and a mouth that easily conveys his emotional state. He is also sometimes depicted wearing a yellow accessory to his chest, presumably a badge.
Purple Guy is represented with the size and height of an adult man, and with his skin tone ranging from various tones of purple or pink, depending on the minigame.
