Opossums are a species of mammal present in the Mouse Territories.

Appearance and Characteristics[]

Opossums are large, arboreal marsupials that bear an overall light-grey pelt with white fur on the region of the head and darker-grey fur on their limbs. They hang from branches on their long, rat-like tails. They possess opposable thumbs, though strangely, these thumbs are located not on their fore paws, but on their hind paws.

Opossums are omnivorous and will eat anything from fruits to small animals, even mouse. When faced with predators, opossums will feign death to lose the predator's interest, but when faced with small prey animals, opossums can become very vicious predators themselves.
