About

Citra Animatronic or Nosey Project, also known as Citra TikTok Robot or Nosey Animatronic, refers to a viral project started by TikToker Citra (@benjamin_pochurek, real name Benjamin Pochurek) that revolves around him building a 10-foot-tall rabbit-like robot called Nosey the Animatronic. According to Citra, the plan for the robot is to create an animatronic that's fireproof, waterproof and bulletproof, can walk around silently with padded feet, and achieve a speed of 32 MPH. Upon completion, Citra will supposedly release it in public spaces. As Citra began sharing progress and update videos of Nosey in mid-2025, the robot began garnering virality online, with many claiming it resembled a horror creation from the analog horror series The Walten Files or the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise.

Origin

On June 10th, 2025, Citra (@benjamin_pochurek) shared his first video to his TikTok^[1] of the Nosey animatronic with the caption, "Progress Report No. 1." The video shows him entering his garage or workshop at night and then showcasing his progress on the robot, discussing it while recording the lower legs, feet, lower arms and hands.

In just over two months, the video received over 2.9 million views, 245,000 likes, 26,000 saves and 6,800 comments. Many users responded to the video in the comment section, jokingly expressing their fear of Citra's creation.

On June 14th, Citra then shared his reference drawings on his TikTok^[2] for the animatronic's final look, noting that it was directly inspired by The Walten Files. In roughly two months, the video garnered over 953,000 views, 26,1000 likes and 3,900 comments.

On August 23rd, 2025, Citra posted his most viral TikTok^[3] video featuring the project (as of August 26th, 2025), which was captioned, "Progress Report No. 25." The video received over 23.4 million views, 1.9 million likes and 210,000 comments in three days.
