Sonic and Chip venture to an abandoned haunted house on a rainy night, soon to be caught up in the antics of two mischievous ghosts, who scare any of the house's visitors in order to take their picture and impress the ghost girl who lives there with them. Though they succeed in scaring Chip out of his wits, the two can't seem to make Sonic bat an eye at them. Furious, the two band together in order to get the best of Sonic; will he be able to put a stop to the duo with a little help from the full moon?

Where it came from
Released in 2008 as a tie-in to the console game Sonic Unleashed, Night of the Werehog is a ten-minute computer-animated short produced by Sega's internal animation studio. It was created to showcase the tone and visual capabilities of the Hedgehog Engine, which powered the primary game, while providing an experimental narrative space for Sonic the Hedgehog’s new 'Werehog' form. The short was distributed online as an Original Net Animation to build anticipation for the game's release and to introduce fans to the darker, more atmospheric aesthetic of the title.
The production utilized stylized character modeling and expressive, exaggerated animation techniques to evoke a spooky, comedic atmosphere. Rather than focusing on high-octane action, the short centers on Sonic and Chip encountering ghostly inhabitants within a haunted mansion, allowing the animators to experiment with lighting and pantomime. It was well-received by fans of the series for its polished visual quality and humorous character beats, often cited as one of the most successful examples of expanded media within the franchise.
