History

The Drop Bear is a twist on the koala that was created in Australian folklore to scare tourists away. The koala, although a marsupial, is often inaccurately referred to as a koala bear. The Drop Bear mythology recasts the lovable, cuddly creatures with razor-sharp teeth, long, deadly claws, and aggressive nature.
