Possum

Skunk, known for his pungent smell, was a constant thorn in Dragon’s side, so it was a relief when the report came that he had been killed during a water skirmish.

However, Skunk reappeared two months later like a phoenix from the ashes, and he was known as Phoenix until he was killed again. He reappeared three days later this time, prompting the comment that he had nine lives like a cat. Cat became his moniker until returning from the dead a tenth time.

After that he was Possum, because he must have faked his deaths; also he still smelled bad.
