Opossum
Leonida's nighttime janitor.
Unique Trait
PLAYS DEAD
Will collapse when threatened, then run away.
The Opossum(or Virginia Opossum) is a nocturnal scavenger frequently encountered on the backstreets of Vice City and the rural roads of Leonida.
Retaining its behavior from Red Dead Redemption 2 , the Opossum is famous for its defense mechanism: "Playing Possum." If you approach or shoot near it, it may stiffen and appear dead. Unsuspecting players who try to skin or inspect it might be surprised when it suddenly bites and scurries away.
