Possum

Possum is a recurring character in the Dadish series. It is a Virgina opossum that Dadish sometimes encounters on his journeys.

## Role in Dadish

Possum is first found in the 8th level of the game, in Abaro Woods. Dadish finds it at the end of the level, expecting to find one of his children. It screeches at him, to which he says "Oh my gosh are you a rat."

Possum is next found in the 29th level, in Monto Mountain. Here, Possum apologizes to Dadish for screeching at him earlier, explaining that it is easily startled. Dadish assures Possum that it is no problem. Possum then screeches once more, and Dadish says "Oh my gosh. I why did I adopt you" once more. The last part of Dadish's "Oh my gosh" lines are not found in some versions of the game, including but not limited to The Nintedo Switch

At the end of the credits, Dadish and his children look up into the sky and see a constellation of Possum's face, which screeches. If the star in every level is collected, Possum Mode is unlocked, making Possum a playable character. Possum has the same controls and abilities as Dadish, with altered character interactions. Every baby radish is replaced by another possum, and at the end of each level, the two possums screech at each other. When Possum encounters a boss, it will screech, prompting the boss to say "Oh my gosh." After defeating Lord Durnak in Possum Mode, the baby radishes in the ending cartoon will be replaced by possums.

## Role in Dadish 2

In Dadish 2, Possum is seen in the opening cutscene of each world.

**Enguiga Corp**- Possum follows the baby radishes as they run through the office and poops on dadish’s desk.

**Herbejo Meadow**- Possum rides a Burger Bully through the meadow, following Dadish as he rides Burgurgular.

**Koto Swamp**- Possum follows the baby radishes into the cave before the door closes but also says hi.

**Fantomo Temple**- Possum follows the baby radishes to the right, then turns around and leads them back to the left as they are chased by a boulder.

**Soleca Station**- Possum, wearing a space helmet, follows the baby radishes to the right, bouncing in the low gravity.

Possum is first seen in the first level of Herbejo Meadow. Dadish asks it if it has seen Burgurgular's hat, to which it responds by screeching. Dadish remarks that he should have expected that.

Possum is next seen in a level in Fantomo Temple. Here, it is not interacted with, but is sitting on a ledge above where Burgugular's hat is found. Also, he begins to play the rock guitar and sing the song “i will always love you” and the burgers, hotdogs and other things inside the stage begin singing along.

Many possums appear during the fight with Churgurnular. To damage the boss, Dadish must press buttons to make a ball of screeching possums shoot up and hit him.

Dadish properly encounters Possum in a Soleca Station level, where he remarks that in space, no one can hear you scream. Possum then proves him wrong.

A baby radish later in Soleca Station claims to have seen an alien, though their description of it matches Possum. They claim that this is because aliens are shapeshifters.

At the end of the credits, Possum is seen under Burgurgular's hat.

## Trivia

* It is implied that Possum is responsible for Burgurgular losing his hat, as it is often seen around the hat.
