Larger than its surface cousins (the largest specimens can measure up to 2 feet long), it\xe2\x80\x99s recognizable by a short-legged silhouette, pale shaggy fur, a thick hairless tail, a pointed snout, a flat face\xe2\x80\x94often described as ugly\xe2\x80\x94and slightly globulous red eyes. An omnivore, it often eats carrion and lives alongside its subterranean kin in the nooks and crannies of towns, as well as near oases. \n'b' Many denizens of the Netherworld complain about the creatures\xe2\x80\x99 presence, almost as much as they do about the colonies of ants. Both have a reputation for making life hellish; while ants infest pantries, families of netherpossums vandalize garbage collectors, as a pack or in turns. \n'b' Under these circumstances, the poorly regarded industry of pest control offers a great many opportunities. \n'b' These professionals ply their trade both near poor populations and in the homes of the rich, and may find themselves rummaging through sewers and tunnels to rid them of the parasitic occupants. \n'b' For novice adventurers, this dirty job may provide supplementary income as well as a cover for investigations or infiltration. The stereotypical image of a pest control expert is that of an unkempt person, with a peculiar fashion sense that puts their hunting trophies on display. These are prejudices\xe2\x80\x94based on some very real extreme specimens\xe2\x80\x94that nevertheless inspire some aspiring hunters to appear larger than life by being overly dirty and indulging macabre whims. \n'b' Essential Scavengers \n'b' Capable of digesting even bones, netherpossums are the cleaners of the underground. Like all scavengers\xe2\x80\x94such as vultures and hyenas on the surface\xe2\x80\x94they are linked to Death, and the deity\xe2\x80\x99s Netherworld priests sometimes raise some within their sanctuary. Indeed, these necrophages have a purifying influence, and any corpse devoured by them cannot be reanimated as undead, even as an incorporeal one. In some societies, this process is accepted as part of the necessary funerary rites. \n'b' A Valuable Ingredient to Necromantic Alchemists \n'b' Netherpossums are able to feign death in case of danger. They\xe2\x80\x99re then struck with rigor mortis and give off a putrid, rotting smell. This ability to inflict a false death upon themselves translates into interesting alchemical properties, and ingredients extracted from netherpossums allow the creation of different potions.'
