Mary Schmidt's sketch drawing of Monster Rat and Monster Cat.

The monster animatronics are the monstrous incarnations of the animatronics from The Rat & Cat Theater conjured in the nightmares of Mary Schmidt.

The monster animatronics appear exclusively in Five Nights at Candy's 3 as the game's main threats.

Physical Appearance

The monster animatronics are twisted, hulking versions of their respective animatronics. They are made out of a smooth muscular material with metallic wiring connecting their body parts together. Their heads are not segmented, keeping their jaws and ears together in one mesh. The insides of their mouths are red and fleshy, and they have metallic, sharp teeth. They have long, bony hands with metal nails.

Trivia

"Monster Rat Design 2" from the Extras menu, with fur as opposed to skin.

• As seen in the concept art within the Extras menu, Monster Rat was originally "Nightmare Rat,"  implying they were going to be nightmare animatronics.
• Concept art made by Shoocharu depicts Monster Rat with prominent fur as opposed to muscular skin.
