Enemy Intel

Wererat is an enemy in Final Fantasy VII Remake. Easily the most common enemy fought in the game, it can be found across multiple chapters in the Sector 5 Slums, the Sector 7 Slums, the Corkscrew Tunnel, the Sewer System, the Train Graveyard and the Underground Shinra Lab. They often attack in packs, but generally pose no real threat to the party. They are weak to Ice Ice and can summon more of their kind to battle to replenish their numbers.

Etymology

In folklore and fantasy fiction, were- is often used as a prefix applied to an animal name to indicate a type of lycanthropy and/or shapeshifter (e.g. "were-boar"). Hyphenation used to be mandatory but is now commonly dropped, as in werecat and wererat. This usage can be seen as a back-formation from werewolf (literally, "man-wolf"), as there is no equivalent wifewolf.
