"The rat is terrifying" sounds like an adjective without anything extra... you'd need an object to make the sentence really sound like a verb.
-aterrorizar = to terrify
La rata está aterrorizando a los niños = "The rat is terrifying the children."
Like I said though, your sentence alone makes "terrifying" sounds much more like an adjective.

Not "more like"; it is an adjective. - samdie, Feb 11, 2010

Hello, aeo0227:
Here is one way to use "to terrorize" as a verb, in English:
"The rat terrorizes young children."
In this sentence. the verb describes the action that is occurring within the sentence.
Best regards.
Moe.
