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

A drow raider has a single weapon attack, possesses [[sleep resistance]] and [[poison resistance]] and takes extra damage from [[iron]].

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

==Generation==
Randomly generated drow raiders may be created in small [[group]]s. Drow raiders may generate as peaceful towards drow heroes, and are always hostile towards [[Elf (monster attribute)|elves]] and [[Orc (monster attribute)|orcs]], including heroes of those races.

Drow raiders typically [[Monster starting inventory|generate with]] [[dark elven item]]s: They have a {{frac|2}} chance of generating with either a [[dark elven helm]] or [[dark elven cloak]] with equal probability, an independent {{frac|2}} chance of generating with either a [[dark elven tunic]] ({{frac|4|5}} chance) or [[dark elven chain mail]] ({{frac|5}} chance), an independent {{frac|3}} chance of generating with either [[dark elven boots]] or [[dark elven gloves]] with equal probability, and an independent {{frac|2}} chance of generating with a [[dark elven dagger]].

In addition, drow raiders have a chance of generating with one of the following item sets, with an equal probability for each set:

* a [[Dark elven bow (EvilHack)|dark elven bow]] and {{rn1|12|3}} [[Dark elven arrow (EvilHack)|dark elven arrows]], a {{frac|4}} chance of [[dark elven bracers]], and a {{frac|2|3}} of a [[Dark elven short sword (EvilHack)|dark elven short sword]]
* a [[Dark elven hand crossbow]] and {{rn1|12|3}} [dark elven crossbow bolt]]s, a {{frac|4}} chance of dark elven bracers, and a {{frac|2|3}} of a dark elven short sword
* a {{frac|2}} chance of dark elven bracers and either a [[dark elven long sword]] ({{frac|4}} chance) or a [[dark elven broadsword]] ({{frac|3|4}} chance)
* a {{frac|2}} chance of both a [[dark elven spear]] and an accompanying set of dark elven bracers

All drow weapons generated in a drow raider's initial inventory have a {{frac|3}} chance of being coated in [[drow poison]].

==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
