The Were-Rat is a minor antagonist in Tim Burton's 2012 stop-motion black-and-white film Frankenweenie. 

It, along with the other muatetd animals, were voiced by Dee Bradley Baker. Its inspiration was The Wolfman.

Description[]

The Were-Rat has the appearance of a werewolf and has a violent and aggressive behavior.

History[]

It is originally a rat corpse brought back to life thanks to Edgar with lightning. He comes back to life in the classroom, scares Edgar away and scares the gym teacher who was in the room next door.

The monster tracks her down to the city fair but the teacher climbs on a lamppost, preventing it from reaching her. As he waits for her to come down, Edgar bumps into the were-rat, which in turn pursues him. It is later seen trying to kill Elsa but Sparky intervenes and confronts it. The were-rat takes over and bites Sparky around the neck but electrocutes on one of the bolts and returns to its original corpse shape.
