He first appears in [[Imaginationland Episode II|Imaginationland Episodes II]] and [[Imaginationland, Episode III|III]] within the imagination realm, and again in "[[Insheeption]]" as a real character with a different design, refusing to help the government again, not like "that time [he] killed those High School kids to stop the Russians!" (referring to the many High Schoolers he killed in the films) but after they explain innocent lives are at stake he agrees to help, killing [[Woodsy the Owl]] to rescue [[Stan Marsh]] and [[Mr. Mackey]].

Freddy Krueger is the serial killer and antagonist of the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise.

He first appears in "Imaginationland, Episode II" and "Imaginationland, Episode III" within the imagination realm, in which he killed Morpheus and participated in the torture and murder of Strawberry Shortcake.

In "Insheeption", he made another appearance in the real world, with a different design. Apparently having retired and living in the mountains with his family, he refuses to help the government, not wishing to kill again. After they explain that innocent lives are at stake, he agrees to help, killing Woodsy Owl and rescuing Stan Marsh and Mr. Mackey.
