- "You stupid human! You told the witches everything. And they've got it on tape."
- —A Rat Demon to Andrew Wike.[src]
Rat Demons are low-level demons able to use their powers to transform into rodents in order to hide in the mortal world. They are usually involved in money schemes, such as laundering. Rat Demons are not to be trusted, as they are deceitful beings.
History
The demon in charge.
In 2002, a Rat Demon was using Andrew Wike to launder money in a magic club. When Angela Provazolli found out and wanted to expose them, Andrew killed her and framed her husband Stan. When Phoebe had a premonition telling her that Stan was innocent, the sisters set out to prove his innocence and confronted Andrew. They taped his confession, though Andrew was transformed into a rat and killed for his betrayal.
The Rat Demon in charge of the operation then abducted Glen Belland to use him as leverage to prevent the Charmed Ones from using the tape. While Piper and Phoebe confronted him, Paige and Leo went to other Rat Demons and threatened to expose them all. The other Rat Demons then vanquished the one holding Glen and took the tape, calling it a draw.
