Scorrow
See, drow (dark elves) in MOST D&D settings worship spiders, and sometimes turn into half-spider thingamabobbers called Driders (ha ha, drow+spider=Drider). In Eberron, however, there are drow who revere scorpions. So what do they do?
Become Scorrows, of course!
I wonder what The Rock has to say about this one...
Okay, jokes aside, let's look at Eberron Drow for a moment. You see, Drow (dark elves) in D&D have always been the same thing: Evil matgriarchal spider-worshipping emo bad guys who live in caves underground. That's what they were in the original setting. In Faerun, they were MORE SO. ANd had books. Lots of books. About the only good Drow ever (until there were tons more). So Eberron, which already switches up a lot of things, decided to change Drow around a little bit. Essentially they are the same, except far more live in the surface (particularly in jungles), and can be good or evil. Rather than a spider theme, they care more about scorpions. Kind of arbitrary, but interesting.
