Also known as dark elves, drow are a depraved and evil subterranean offshoot.

White is the most common hair color among drow, but almost any pale shade is possible. Drow tend to be smaller and thinner than other sorts of elves, and their eyes are often a vivid red.  

===Combat===

Drow usually coat their arrows with a potent venom.

'''[[SRD:Poison|Poison]] {{Ex}}:''' An opponent hit by a drow’s [[SRD:Poison|poisoned]] weapon must succeed on a [[SRD:DC|DC]] 13 [[SRD:Saving Throw|Fortitude save]] or fall [[SRD:Unconscious |unconscious]]. After 1 minute, the subject must succeed on another [[SRD:DC|DC]] 13 [[SRD:Saving Throw|Fortitude save]] or remain [[SRD:Unconscious |unconscious]] for 2d4 hours. A typical drow carries 1d4–1 doses of drow knockout poison. Drow typically coat [[SRD:Arrows|arrows]] and crossbow [[SRD:Crossbow Bolts|bolts]] with this [[SRD:Poison|poison]], but it can also be applied to a [[SRD:Melee Weapon|melee weapon]]. Note that drow have no special ability to apply [[SRD:Poison|poison]] without risking being [[SRD:Poison|poison]]ed themselves. Since this [[SRD:Poison|poison]] is not a magical effect, drow and other elves are susceptible to it.
