Drow
Dark elves with sharp minds and a dangerous reputation

Drow, also known as dark elves, are a sinister and complex subgroup of elves known for their underground society and notorious association with dark magic. With their ebony skin, white or silver hair, and often red or purple eyes, Drow have a fearsome and mesmerizing appearance. They dwell deep underground in cities of the Underdark, where intrigue, power struggles, and betrayal dominate the culture. In Dungeons & Dragons (D&D), Drow are a popular race for both players and antagonists, often tied to the evil goddess Lolth, the Spider Queen. Their deadly skills and complex background make them memorable characters and adversaries.
