The Drow are an antagonistic subspecies of bluish-green elves in the Skylanders franchise. They are evil elves who have turned away from the light and embraced the Darkness, being evil by choice. Despite their allegiance to Kaos, like all elves, the Drow retain a love for nature.[1]

The Drow military seems to be made up of long range attackers, such as the Drow Spearmen and Drow Witches, and their melee units seem to be Goliaths and Blitzer Bullies, who have much less range. While they make use of Zepelins to travel and make attacks from above.

Large populations of Drow have settled in the Outlands.

Story

Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure

Console

Darker versions of various of Kaos's henchmen, including Drow, were summoned by Kaos to attempt to destroy the Core of Light, notable for being completely red and having white eyes instead of their coloration. However, they were dispatched by the Skylanders along with the other enemies. Real Drow first appeared in Perilous Pastures guarding the path to the gate where they imprisoned Cali. They later appeared in Sky Schooner Docks and Stormy Stronghold, where they tried to harness the power of the Eternal Air Source. In Treetop Terrace, the Drow took the Life Seeds for themselves, and they had to be retrieved in order to locate the Eternal Life Source.

Trivia

  • The Drow have a large number of airships and balloons in Sky Schooner Docks.
    • The Drow claimed to have invented the hot air balloon, but it was really a Chompy that invented the idea.
  • Most regular Drow appear to be connected to the two elements of Life and Air; they are most associated with lush areas and airships, and they have mostly Air and Life Spell Punks among their ranks.
  • In the 3DS version of Trap Team, the Drow Lance Master has spinning and dizzy animations that are only seen once in the Monastery of Waking. Those two animations are typically only used for Nightmare Villains, which may imply the Drow Lance Master was originally going to have a Nightmare Villain counterpart.
  • In Skylanders: Giants, Arkeyan Cracklers and Life Spell Punks strangely share sounds with Drow.
