[a snoozing skerple]

Is that a giant disembodied bird head..? Oh, no. It's just a shimmering green opossum - that's loads more normal... okay, so green opossums are still a bit strange. Hmm.. what if its an impostor? Some sort of bird or lizard or amphibious creature, only pretending to be a marsupial... egads.

Test it?
[rate the smell of its breath]
[check the prehensility of its tail]
[get it to walk around for optimal shuffling]
[rifle through its fur for signs of scales, feathers or webbing]

This little impostor belongs to silverwolfahoo.

I search the may be imposter for signs of its treachery, and tentatively dub it Drake.

The impostor opens its gaping toothless mouth humongously wide and slaps its long, fat, sticky tongue to your face, letting out a hearty FROOOOOAAAAAAAK!
Well, slapping people with tongues is kind of like how animals give kisses, right...? Maybe it thinks you were petting it.
...
Or maybe it's trying to digest your face.

Well, either way, the beastie can stay with me.
