UCF’s Rat Man In 2018, University of Central Florida students began noticing “Rat Man,” an adult man wearing a makeshift rat mask and tail who silently walked around campus at night. Nobody knew whether he was a friend or foe, but he was often seen in the dark near trash cans and stopped a bike thief once. There have been no reported sightings of Rat Man since last May, but hopefully the rodent hero is still at large. Photo via Twitter/UCF Police Department
