Elf (Drow/Dark)

Drow are first and foremost a type of elf, which means they have all the stereotypical elven features. Drow tend to be tall and lithe, and almost supernaturally beautiful. Even a drow down on their luck will pull off their rags with grace and dignity. The main physical distinction between drow and other elves is their skin color. Drow tend to have very dark skin, sometimes reaching a pure charcoal black. Others have a range of dark grey colors, verging on dark bluish hues. You’ll also often see drow depicted with dark purple or even close to lilac skin tones. Purple isn’t listed as a possibility officially, but it’s shown so often that it may as well be canon.
Drow eyes can be of literally any color, though bright red is the most common. They’re also commonly very bright or near white in color, which often leads to a misconception that they have purely white eyes with no iris.
Finally, drow hair is usually a very bright color that contrasts with their skin. Silver, pure white, or pale yellow are all common hair colors. They usually wear their hair long and decorate it with pins or webbing in dedication to the spider queen.
THE DARKNESS OF THE DROW Were it not for one renowned exception, the race of drow would be universally reviled. To most, they are a race of demon-worshiping marauders dwelling in the subterranean depths of the Underdark, emerging only on the blackest nights to pillage and slaughter the surface dwellers they despise. Their society is depraved and preoccupied with the favor of Lolth, their spider-goddess, who sanctions murder and the extermination of entire families as noble houses vie for position.
Yet one drow, at least, broke the mold. In the world of the Forgotten Realms, Drizzt Do’Urden, ranger of the North, has proven his quality as a good-hearted defender of the weak and innocent. Rejecting his heritage and adrift in a world that looks upon him with terror and loathing, Drizzt is a model for those few drow who follow in his footsteps, trying to find a life apart from the evil society of their Underdark homes.
Drow grow up believing that surface-dwelling races are inferior, worthless except as slaves. Drow who develop a conscience or find it necessary to cooperate with members of other races find it hard to overcome that prejudice, especially when they are so often on the receiving end of hatred.
