I just remembered that I wanted to reply to this.
I always thought that an opossum would make the perfect Normal-Ghost Type. Y'know, with the fact that it is an ordinary fluffy creature (hence the normal type) that can feign death, for the Ghost-aspect. Opossoul would be a kickass name.
Completely off topic, but I decided to reply to myself, but within reason. Being that I'm absolutely terrible at anything that could be considered art, and I only have MSPain(t) to assist me, I decided to..."draw"...what Opossoul would look like. Well, the basic stage, anyway. God only knows how I would butcher an evolution...
Anyway, here's a rough idea of what the first stage in the Opossoul line would look like.

Basically, in universe, it almost gets the Sudowoodo treatment in the sense that it fools the foe into thinking it is something it's not. In this case, it deceives the foe into thinking that it is not a Ghost-type, due to its only vaguely ghost-like colors. When performing Ghost-type attacks, it shuts its eyes, giving the appearance that it fainted or died, due to the "X" markings. It's very timid, but its scythe-like tail is used in more dire situations.
In game, I imagine its line would specialize in "tricky" moves, such as Trick Room and such, as well as introducing a signature Physical Ghost move, Tail Reap, or something. The evolved form (Reapossum, maybe?) would be taller, lankier, and mangier, and lose the adorableness. But I'm not attempting to draw that one...
Anyway, just a silly idea I had to pass the time. What else could I do on a Saturday night?
