Drow
The Dark Elves live underground and are adapted to this lifestyle. However, many of them have contact with the surface world and interact with it regularly.
Basic Information
Anatomy
The drow are humanoid with most of the drow being purple or black in color from living near the very harsh light of the glowing crystals. Grey drow come from variations that live further away from the crystals and pale drow live in the deepest caverns where no light penetrates.
Genetics and Reproduction
The drow have normal mammalian reproduction. They typically have gestation periods of 2 to 3 years. However, they discovered magic that can speed this up. Drow are capable of producing viable children with humans.
Growth Rate & Stages
Drow stop growing at 72 years of age. They typically live to 220 and really start to become old at 174. However, the lack of resources in caves causes constant warfare among the drow. As a result, most of them do not reach old age.
Ecology and Habitats
The Drow live underground in narrow cave systems with the occasional vast cavern.
Dietary Needs and Habits
Drow can live off of very little food relative to their body size. They can eat many of the same foods that humans can; however, their bodies are adapted to gain more nutrients from fungi and they have trouble digesting most plants.
