This humanoid is almost bestial in appearance. Though
it retains the basic qualities of a drow, its skin is pierced
and scarred with runes and signs. It is garbed in armour
that seems pieced together from a dozen different sources,
much of which is covered by the flayed and tanned skins of
sentient creatures. As it moves toward you, its mouth opens
to reveal teeth filed into fangs.
The Kanahraun are the feral drow, a race feared throughout
the Underdeep for its savagery. The lower class of the
Kanahraun are almost all barbarians, which is why the
statistics given here reflect a barbarian.
Under the influence of a demon lord they worship as their
god, the Kanahraun have become a brutal, cannibalistic
race. The race itself is divided into two groups, the ruling
class and the lower class. The lower class, which comprises
about 90 percent of the total population, are the Kanahraun
which are still more or less pure drow, unlike the ruling
class, which is descended from the offspring of Azzanoth.
The lower class of the feral drow are the warriors and
soldiers of the ruling class, ruled over with an iron hand,
which they rarely, if ever, question.
Combat
The lower class of the feral drow are deadly warriors who
love the thrill of combat. Their appearance and reputation
often strikes fear into the hearts of their enemies, a fact
the feral drow do not rely on but will gladly capitalise on.
They prefer to strike from ambush, first with a flight of
arrows, then charging in to take advantage of the confusion
and sudden panic caused by their attack.
The feral drow of the lower class tend to use scimitars,
falchions and short bows in combat, and their armour is
commonly what they have scavenged from past victims.
The armour is commonly decorated with bones and pieces
of the tanned hide of sentient beings.
Kanahraun Traits – Lower Class (Ex): The lower class of
the Kanahraun are, for the most part, only slightly deviated
from their drow ancestors.
� +2 Dexterity, -2 Constitution, +2 Intelligence, +2
Charisma
� Darkvision out to 120 ft.
� Spell resistance equal to 11 + class levels
� Spell-Like Abilities: Kanahraun can use the following
spell-like abilities once per day: dancing lights, darkness,
faerie fire. Caster level equals the Kanahraun’s class
levels.
� Immunity to sleep spells and effects, and a +2 racial
saving throw bonus against enchantment spells or
effects.
� +2 racial bonus on Listen, Search and Spot checks.
A Kanahraun who merely passes within five feet of a
secret or concealed door is entitled to a Search check to
notice it as if he were actively looking for it.
� Weapon Proficiency: A Kanahraun is automatically
proficient with the short bow, the kukri, the scimitar
and the falchion. This trait replaces the drow’s weapon
proficiencies.
� Light Blindness: Abrupt exposure to bright light (such
as sunlight or a daylight spell) blinds Kanahraun for
one round. On subsequent rounds, they are dazzled as
long as they remain in the affected area.

drow’s favoured class.
