A '''drow''', {{black|@}}, is a type of [[monster]] that appears in [[EvilHack]]. The drow is a monster that acts as a placeholder for [[racial monster]]s. A drow is [[strong]] and accurate, has [[ultravision]], can [[see invisible]], and will seek out weapons and other items to pick up.

A drow has a single weapon attack and possesses [[sleep resistance]] and [[poison resistance]], and takes extra damage from nymph has a claw attack that can steal items and a second claw attack that can initiate seduction and allows her to steal even more items, and will always teleport away after a successful theft.

[[Eating]] a drow [[corpse]] or [[tin]] grants {{frac|2|25}} (+8%) [[Partial intrinsic|additional sleep resistance]].

==Generation==
Drow are not randomly generated, and are not valid targets for genocide or polymorph. Normally-generated drow may be created as peaceful towards drow heroes, and are always hostile towards [[Elf (monster attribute)|elves]] and [[Orc (monster attribute)|orcs]].

Drow can generate as [[shopkeeper]]s, chaotic and unaligned [[Aligned priest|altar priests]], [[mercenaries]], and chaotic and unaligned [[Player monster (EvilHack)|player monsters]].

[[Drow zombie (EvilHack)|Drow zombies]] leave behind very old drow [[corpse]]s upon death that are always tainted and induce a zombifying [[illness]] when eaten, and have a chance of [[reviving]] from those corpses unless [[canceled]] or [[behead]]ed—a drow zombie that is killed while the hero wields [[Sunsword]] will never leave a corpse. [[Drow mummy (EvilHack)|Drow mummies]] also leave behind aged drow corpses upon death, which behave the same as corpses left by [[mummies]] in ''[[NetHack]]''.

==Encyclopedia entry==
{{encyclopedia|
Drow, also known as dark elves, deep elves, night elves, and
the Dark Ones among orcs, are a dark-skinned sub-race of elves
that predominantly live in the Underdark. They are hated and
feared due to their cruelty, though some non-evil and an even
smaller number of good drow exist.

"Station: In all the world of the drow, there is no more
important word. It is the calling of their - of our - religion,
the incessant pulling of hungering heartstrings. Ambition
overrides good sense and compassion is thrown away in its face,
all in the name of Lloth, the Spider Queen." - Drizzt Do'Urden
