Trivia

  • In the final version of Giants, Drow Archers share the same character models as Rocket Imps and Hob 'n' Yaros.
  • Despite appearing as Imps in the final version of Skylanders: Giants, Drow Archers were originally modeled as regular Drow wearing armor. Their attack patterns were also different, firing flurries of flaming arrows in an arc (rather than shooting vertically into a target).[2]
  • Due to the remodel from Drow to Imp being something the developers did very late in the game's development, them still being called "Drow Archers" may be an oversight.
  • The Drow Archer's early description was "Speed, accuracy, FIRE."[3]
  • In the level Tunnel of Love, there are large statues of winged Drow Archers/Rocket Imps brandishing bows; however, none are fought in-game.
    • In Trap Team however Elf Archers, using an proper Elf design, take their place as enemies in an 3DS Game.
