Drow
Drow (sing & pl; pronounced: /draʊ/ drow or: /droʊ/ dro, also known as dark elves, deep elves, night elves, and the Dark Ones among orcs, were a dark-skinned sub-race of elves that predominantly lived in the Underdark. They were hated and feared due to their cruelty, though some non-evil and an even smaller number of good drow existed.
