Answer:

EDDIE

Hint:

This werewolf-in-training was the youngest Munster with a howling good sense of humor.

Explanation:

This clue refers to Eddie Munster, the young son in the classic 1960s TV show The Munsters. The show was a comedic take on a monster family living in suburbia, and Eddie was the werewolf-like boy with a distinctive haircut and playful personality.

If you’re familiar with the show, this one’s straightforward—just the character’s name.
