ABOUT

Sages believe the derro were bred as slaves, possibly by the dark elves or the kalas-toa, or some other unknown evil subterranean race. The ancestors of the derro escaped, multiplied, and built a civilization in the deep earth. Due to their history, the derro are fiercely independent and rarely maintain alliances for long.

Derro are short in statue, no taller than 4 feet tall and typically have muscular physiques. Their skin is pale white with a purple or bluish tint. Their eyes are round and broad, and they possess darkvision to 120 feet.

Derro hair tends to be white or gray. They venture to the surface only to capture slaves.
