{{blockref|The drow were first mentioned in the ''Dungeons & Dragons'' game in the 1st Edition 1977 ''Advanced Dungeons & Dragons'' ''[[Publication:Monster Manual (1e)|Monster Manual]]'' under the "Elf" entry, where it is stated that "The 'Black Elves,' or drow, are only legend." No statistics are given for the drow in this book, apart from the statistics for normal elves. The drow are described as purportedly dwelling deep beneath the surface world, in strange subterranean realms. They are said to be evil, "as dark as faeries are bright"|<ref name="wikipedia" />}}

{{blockref|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.|<ref name="srd3" />}}
