At night, dropbears may prowl along the ground in [[forest]]s and almost always quickly descend and attack a blockhead passing underneath, after which they'll climb back up their tree. 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. | At night, dropbears may prowl along the ground in [[forest]]s and almost always quickly descend and attack a blockhead passing underneath, after which they'll climb back up their tree.

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. They will not climb past another dropbear, and will not be disturbed by another dropbear arriving above or below it. | 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.

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]]. 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 | 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]] or better.

A blockhead can trap a dropbear by making a shallow pool of [[water]] under the dropbear's tree, so when a blockhead chops down a tree, the dropbear will not move and the blockhead has the chance to kill it without being harmed. | A blockhead can trap a dropbear by making a shallow pool of [[water]] under the dropbear's tree, so when a blockhead chops down a tree, the dropbear will not move and the blockhead has the chance to kill it without being harmed. | ||
