– Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure description

Goliath Drow are enemies in Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure and Skylanders: Giants. They are part of the Drow family and the largest among them. They attack the Skylanders by charging at them with their two gauntlets, one attached to each arm. While charging, their gauntlets form spikes and glow green, protecting the Goliath Drow from any attack from the front. When a Goliath Drow stops charging, it is highly vulnerable to attacks. A charge immediately stops if the Goliath hits a wall or a Skylander.

The Goliath Drow are also one of the few enemies that return in Skylanders: Giants, with armored variants that must be weakened the same way as regular ones, with additional health. Brock, an enemy turned ally of the Skylanders, is the largest of the Goliath Drow.

Trivia

• In Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure, Goliath Drow's gauntlets are bronze, while in Skylanders: Giants, their gauntlets are dark gray.
• In the alpha versions of Giants, Goliath Drow retained their bronze shields and had a different moving animation. They could also perform sharp turns if hit while charging, making them much harder to dodge.
• Earlier in Giants's development, reguliar Goliath Drow were treated as armored enemies. In order to damage them, the player first had to hit them enough to knock off their shields.
• One alpha version of Giants includes a scrapped announcer take that mispronounces "Drow."
• In the alpha version of Giants, Goliath Drow were originally to be renamed to ''Drow Goliath'' to possibly better fit in line with the rest of the Drow names format
• In Stormy Stronghold, it is possible to lure both the Goliath Drow that appears on the wooden bridge and the one that comes out of the doors near the giant button used to obtain Warnado’s Soul Gem all the way up to the top of the castle where the Eternal Air Source is. If you do this, they will join in the fight with the rest of the Drow, Air Spell Punks, and Windbag Djinnis that spawn there to stop you from obtaining the source. If one or both of these Goliath Drow are left alive after all the other enemies have been defeated, the cutscene for collecting the Eternal Air Source will play with them still alive, and they will just stand there while you hover up and collect the source.
• Their in-game description references Juggernaut from X-Men.
