A '''Dropbear''' is the most (and currently only) dangerous ground [[:Category:Creature|animal]] in the game. A single dropbear won't cause significant trouble for a healthy [[Blockhead]]. They can cause problems for the wounded or when multiple dropbears are encountered. Fortunately, they are nocturnal creatures that hang out near the tops of [[Tree|trees]] when not active. They are sometimes found on the ground when traveling between trees, but seldom during the day. Their eyes glow at night, making them easier to avoid. | |||

A non-fatal strike will usually prompt a retaliatory attack and then the dropbear will retreat to the highest point on the current tree or one nearby (if it was a ground encounter). | ||
