Here's another from the same article as the last two, and well-timed to follow one of our other conversions...
Copper Opossum
The copper opossum, a native of the Cormyr foothills, is as shy as the Farrowdale mouse is aggressive. It spends most of the day eating weeds and seedlings, rolling itself into a tight ball whenever it feels threatened. If handled, the opossum kicks with its hind legs, piercing its oppressor with tiny spikes located just above its feet. The spikes secrete poison that causes paralysis. Incidentally, the opossum’s fur contains actual copper; if processed by a knowledgeable craftsman, the fur of a mature copper opossum yields 2-5 pounds of metal.
For the Farrowdale mouse and the copper opossum, use the normal mouse and opossum statistics (award 15 experience points for the Farrowdale mouse, 35 for the copper opossum). If either creature makes a successful attack, the victim is poisoned.
Poison Effects Table
Onset Time/ Result of Failed Saving Throw *
1 round / Victim suffers effects similar to those of a temporal stasis spell. Effects persist until victim benefits from dispel magic, neutralize poison, temporal reinstatement, or a comparable spell.
*Victims of the Farrowdale mouse, copper opossum, and gray flatfish receive no modifiers to their saving throws. Cobra trout victims receive a -4 modifier.
