is the inability of humans to see in darkness. Still, that is a
minor inconvenience, and humans serve drow as soldiers,
gladiators, farmers, pleasure slaves and labourers.
Kobold
Cowardly and stupid, kobolds are considered useless as
slaves in any meaningful way. Though some are put to
work at the most simple and menial of tasks, most drow
buy kobolds only to offer them as sacrifices, or to act as a
sparring partner for the drow to hone his skill with weapons
or spells. Kobolds are so cheaply priced that drow consider
them more expendable than a simple practice dummy, and
find them far more entertaining.
Minotaur
The exceptional strength and size of a minotaur would
make it a useful labourer, but minotaur slaves are seldom
used in that capacity. The natural abilities of these creatures
make them more valuable elsewhere. Minotaurs, in fact,
are so highly sought they are one of the few races the drow
will breed. Noble Houses use them as trackers and scouts,
perfectly comfortable sending them out alone into the
Underdeep to chase down a thief or scout a caravan path,
knowing that a well-trained minotaur can be trusted to
return on its own. They are sometimes used as gladiators,
another task to which they are naturally suited.
Morgoshe
Armed conflict, even open war, between drow and morgoshe
has been common since the time of the Sundering, and
many drow enjoy keeping morgoshe as slaves simply for
revenge. Able to survive indefinitely on dry land, the
morgoshe still find the ordeal quite uncomfortable, as their
skin itches maddeningly when it begins to dry out. The
drow know this all too well, and enjoy watching the aquatic
creatures squirm. A morgoshe slave in drow society rarely
has anything to look forward to except a short and painful
life as a gladiator, or an even shorter life as a sacrificial
offering.
