Right. I'll just slap that in there. Possum (Draft 3)

Made because the marsupials deserve a little more love.

Family: Marsupial (They get a separate category since Marsupials are a different family of animal life from anything else IRL)

Type: Beastman

Habitat: Woods, Fields, Urban Areas rarely

Disposition: Shy, easily frightened, intelligent, nervous

Diet: Omnivorous, men's mana

Bio:

A shy, timid creature, the possum is one of the ones most rapidly adapting to urban environments. Her omnivorous diet, quick wit, and prehensile tail allow her to be just as at home in a hollow tree as she is in an unused attic.

Generally more active at dawn and dusk in the wild, these girls are more likely to encounter a man by accident rather than intention.

If startled, she will enter a 'death-like sleep', locking up and dropping to the ground. Men who gaze upon her in this state will grow fascinated with her body, much like the effect a Dormouse has.

When under the effects of this lure, a man will find himself bringing her into his home, then having his way with her. However, if the man is naturally of a pure heart, he will only kiss her after bringing her home. This gesture will awaken the possum, who will then woo the man into being her husband. As a wife, she is devoted and loving, being practically joined at the hip.

She’s a bit of an oddity among other mammalian monsters and monsters in general in that she doesn’t fully gestate her young internally, the developing baby leaving her body when it's no bigger than a jellybean and going into a pouch hidden in the fur on her hips, where they will fully develop.

Once they’ve gestated fully, she’ll carry the baby on her back, the child clinging to the fur covering her chest and upper back. The child is on her back wherever she goes, only coming off when it's time to sleep or for the mother to have fun with her husband.
