Notes: Since they come from the underdark where magic rules they have a high SR. They are far more light sensitive than normal drows and can be blinded, this also lowers their ab, ac, some skills and can cause some damage. If they fail saving throw blindness can last for sometime. At night or indoors they are not affected. They are not blinded if using the darkness spell around them.
Description:  The Mother Goddess when she came to Talan'ith found the chaotic Shadow Elves to be agreeable with her goals for the drows. Over time many drows breed with the shadow elves creating a unique races bonding the drow as native to Talan'ith.

Shadow drows look like normal drows only in most causes smaller. The difference is in how they act. Most Shadow Drow are a bit crazy and their attention span is very short, if they get bored they will often find a way to entertain themselves. This could mean stabbing the person talking to them, giving them a slave as a gift, walking away, playing a trick on them, stealing, changing the subject, or committing mass murder. They are very near falling over the line of sane and insane but they are not as bad as a shadow elf.
