Feign Death

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 Seek or Medicine check to Recall Knowledge is required to determine that the animal is not, in fact, dead.

Revived Retaliation

Trigger The opossum is attacked or disturbed by a creature within reach while Feigning Death

Effect The opossum Strikes the triggering creature.

Speed 30 feet, climb 20 feet

Melee Jaws +10 (deadly d10, unarmed), Damage 1d10+4 piercing

Melee Claw +10 (agile, unarmed), Damage 1d6+4 slashing

Melee Tail +10 (reach 15, unarmed), Damage 1d4+4 bludgeoning plus Grab

Grasping Tail

A giant opossum can drag a Small or Tiny creature it has Grabbed with its tail along with it when it Strides.

Grab

Requirements 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 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.
