On a failed morale check, rather than fleeing, a opossum will instead "play possum" and effectively feign death.
This is an involunatary act, and will without succeeding on a wisdom check appear for all intents and purposes to be dead.
For the intents of an encounter, the opossum counts as being defeated.
It will regain consciousness sometime within a few minutes or a few hours.
They may also do this if they are surprised.
