Well, in regards to a couple of things here...

You need to have their advancement be by character class, I can imagine Ninja Dropbears, lying in wait in the shadows for their prey...

And Dropbear Repellant is also known as Vegemite. You smear it on your cheeks like warpaint, and it scares them off.

Otherwise, this is very awesome, and I think you had people in at the G'day Mate.

Am I the only one who, upon reading "dropbear repellant", immediately thought of Escape Velocity: Nova?

In that spacefaring game, you can get attacked by dropbears (only while walking around on specific planets).

Luckily, you might notice there's Dropbear Repellant available for sale in most of those planets' starports. The funny thing is... it does nothing!

So you might be told your character woke up in a hospital, learning that he was attacked by a dropbear. "But I was using dropbear repellant!" "LOL, sir, that's a hoax, it does nothing."

To the one who calls himself "The Vorpal Tribble"; You are a sick, twisted, infernal, spawn of evil DMing. I love you, man, and I want your dropbear. (And all their offspring for a thousand years!)

Man, the scene in Last Continent when Rincewind is simultaneously attacked by the little birds and the dropbears makes me cry tears of laughter every time.

What do you mean he needs to do a kangaroo next? Clearly the great VT must do the dreaded bunnywolf, ferocious penguinlion, and the terrible ducksnake before anything else!

Excellent. ;D I am so having a continent inspired by Australia in my hypothetical future game. And I'm going to time how long it takes for the players to realise that I'm going to throw (drop?) dropbears at them. (They'd all either be Australians, or non-Australians I've 'warned' about dropbears myself, so it should be interesting.)

Really, it's pretty much implied in any time that you make a monster. ;D

Why is drop a ranged touch attack? You mean it sort of fires itself at the target whilst simultaneously remaining in the tree.

Laws. Of. Physics. Overload.

Huh? It throws itself off the tree at its opponent. If it had dropped a rock it'd be a ranged attack, so if it throws itself down.
