Springtrap is a central antagonist from the Five Nights at Freddy's (FNAF) franchise, first appearing in the third installment as the decayed remains of the series' villain, William Afton. In meme culture, Springtrap is most famous for his catchphrase, 'I always come back,' which has become a shorthand for anything that refuses to stay dead or irrelevant. The meme often uses images of his withered animatronic shell to represent persistence, surviving disasters, or the inevitable return of a specific trend or person. Whether he's portrayed as a menacing figure or a chaotic source of irony, Springtrap remains a staple of horror gaming and internet subculture humor.
