A Dropbear is a special kind of folkloric creature from Australia that while widely portrayed as geniune is in reality a modern invention designed as a light-hearted joke by locals to fool guillable tourists or simply to entertain people who happen to visit the great Outback, the Dropbear is jokingly referred to as one of Australia's most terrifying monsters and locals often have fun in making up ridiculous methods of protecting oneself from the mythical beasts - which in itself is a means of poking fun at the concept of superstition.
