The dropbear is a highly feared and highly misunderstood creature. That its existence is doubted by some makes it all the more dangerous when it strikes. Much mysticism and speculation surrounds its habits and habitat. Due to the terrifying nature of these foul beasts, accurate reports of their look are few and far between. Alternately described as both a fuzzy grey ball of teeth and claws and a blood-soaked demon from Hell, the only verifiable account known is from a "survivor" of an attack who described them as a creature of fury and unparalleled destructive rage.

Hiding and Waiting. One of the few things that can be relied upon about stories of the drop bear's attacks is that they prefer to lie in wait, usually high up in a tree where they are virtually undetectable, and drop upon unsuspecting, hapless foes, tearing and gnawing relentlessly until their target is little more than a bloody memory.

Feared and Respected. Rumours and superstition surround the creature and how to combat it. It has been touted that pungent yeast extracts rubbed on ones head can deter the vicious creatures from attacking but given their secretive nature and surprise attacks, and the low likelihood of surviving, no-one has been able to truly verify such effects. What is known is that you don't travel through the territory of a drop bear without a helmet and some backup.
