    This is pretty much what my ancestry is: Norse Gael. Clan Henderson. So this is where the Drow come from. They are the dark elves in Dungeons and Dragons.

    I've always figured Drow take some some inspiration from the myth of the Trow, though they've got almost nothing in common with their mythological namesake.

    I think the Drow in D&D is the combination of various myths. Dwarves for example, were often called elves but had black skin like the Drow in the game. So basically, they could be considered dark elves that live underground. There were also the seelie and unseelie courts. One of which was ruled by a woman and were viewed as being immoral. I think that's what led to the drow being led by an evil matriarch.

    Maybe it eases the confusion that the troll also comes from draug. Or at least folklore and etymology researchers believe so.

    shamanic (spiritiual) practicies are exist all other, and the parasitic subtle body of slavic obour, and the baghest (bear/house/burial/mountion spirit) sharing similiaretis with this mound dweller alleged night hag attacks (turn into a cat, that grow more and more on the chest of his victims, crush him to death). I am highly wondering, if this unnatural metamorphosis of Glamr into this horrible being, came from fae=alien genetics, that start to kick in after the death=hibernation of fae-blooded human (similiar to the Palco fish, or the body became an "chrysalid-layer" of sort, for their new, transformed body)
