Trigger The opossum is reduced below 15 HP
Effect The opossum collapses. It is Off-Guard and can use actions that require only its mind, but any other action ends the ruse.
A successful DC 18 Perception check to [/act seek dc=18] or Medicine check to [/act recall-knowledge skill=medicine dc=18] is required to determine that the animal is not, in fact, dead.
Revived RetaliationTrigger The opossum is attacked or disturbed by a creature within reach while Feigning Death
Effect The opossum Strikes the triggering creature.
Grasping TailA giant opossum can drag a Small or Tiny creature it has Grabbed with its tail along with it when it Strides.
GrabRequirements The monster's last action was a successful Strike that lists Grab in its damage entry, or the monster has a creature Grabbed or Restrained
Effect If used after a Strike, the monster attempts to [/act grapple] the creature using the body part it attacked with. This attempt neither applies nor counts toward the creature's multiple attack penalty.
The monster can instead use Grab and choose one creature it's grabbing or restraining with an appendage that has Grab to automatically extend that condition to the end of the monster's next turn.
Larger species of opossum can eat nearly anything human-sized or smaller.
Few creatures have survived as long and in as many environments as the opossum.
