'''Giant opossums''' are larger versions of the standard [[opossum]]. They can be somewhat dangerous to an unarmed dwarf, though they should pose little threat to even a fledgling [[military]].

Giant Opossums are somewhat dangerous, although should pose little threat to even a fledeling military. <br> They provide a medium amount of meat, but their untrainability makes it impossible to breed them for this purpose, therefore they are little more than pests to most fortresses, but can be useful as a source of [[meat]].

Giant opossums can be [[animal trainer|tamed]] for [[pet]]s or bred as livestock for a [[meat industry]], though their lifespan of 2-4 years significantly limits their usefulness. They provide a medium amount of meat, but other, larger "giant" animals provide better [[butcher]]ing returns. Therefore giant opossums are little more than pests to most fortresses, but they can be useful as wild [[hunter|hunting]] targets.

Some dwarves [[preference|like]] giant opossums for their ''ability to play dead''.
