Drentaurs speak Elven, Common and Undercommon

     Drentaurs are the horrific result of a modified Drider ritual intent on punishing dark elves for their transgressions against the matron houses.  The cursed drow now has the upper torso of a dark elf, but the lower half of a horse.  These creatures are not as tall as a normal centaurs; usually standing slightly above 6 ft. and weighing over 1,800 lbs.
     Combat:  Drentaur's make best use of their new form.  Though some still cling to lighter weight weapons that they weilded before the transformation such as rapiers and hand crossbows, others turn to heavier weapons such as falcions, great swords, and lances.  Drentaur's love to use speed to their advantage, harassing thier enemies with a few shots from their bows before retreating.  Drentaurs pursue their prey relentlessly, taking pleasure killing others.  Drentaur's are not afraid to enter into melee combat, in fact they revel in it.  If a drentaur charges with a lance, the weapon deals x2 the damage as would from the back of a mount.  Once combat begins, a drentaur attacks in a frenzy with both his weapons and hooves.  Drentaurs have a number of spell-like abilities at their disposal, spells such as: 1/day
Dancing lights (DC 11), faerie fire, darkness, levitate, detect magic, detect good, detect law, detect evil and detect chaos. Difficulty is based off charisma.
     Ecology: The cursed drow centaurs generally flee to the surface from the underdark as their hooves are not meant for the underground caverns.  Shunned by their society, feared by the upper races and hated by the sylvan creatures they now resemble, drentaurs are faced with a harsh world.  Some band together to roam the country side looking for merchants to raid or small villages to harrass.  Others look for means of co-existing with the surface worlders and isolate themselves to avoid conflict.  These are generally regarded as weak by their drentaur brethren and often times killed by those who share the same plight.
