During the day, a dropbear prefers to remain clinging to the trunk of a tree, often near or at the top. If for any reason one ends up on the ground, it will search for a suitable tree to climb. They will share a tree with other dropbears. | During the day, a dropbear prefers to remain clinging to the trunk of a tree, often near or at the top.

If their attack is thwarted (such as by their target passing a barrier), they may hang around and try to continue following their target until time or distance makes them give up. | ||
They will not climb up or down more than a one-block change in ground level at any time, which may result in a dropbear becoming trapped where there is no tree. They will also not climb a tree they're already in if it grows taller, unless one is disturbed by attacking or an attack that doesn't kill it.

Fighting dropbears is usually a matter of hitting them four (4) times with a fist, two with most [[Tool]]s, or once with a iron [[sword]].
