I read recently about the Couatl and the Rakshasa being "opposites" in terms of D&D. They are both CR 10 monsters, outsider type, comparable powers. One is lawful good the other is lawful evil. I was wondering what would be the opposite of the Drow given similar criterion?

The Coatl and Rakhasha should have alignments of LG and CE, respectively, if you wanted 'true' opposites. So that sort of breaks that theory.

That being said - Sun Elves, in some ways, and extremely similar in others.

Thus my careful use of "'opposite' in terms of D&D" and "given similar criterion." I suppose I should clarify that this is more of a mechanics or design question than a lore based one. What fills the Drow D&D mechanics niche but is not a Drow?

Mechanically, well, they're Elven with a few modified ability bonuses and a few special abilities.

Uh...

What creatures have abilities similar to Feather Fall, Dancing Lights, and Darkness?

Elf.....duh..... :devil:

Seriously though, if you looking for an exact opposite, I dont think there is any.

Considering their violent reaction to Fey music, I would hazard to guess Faeries, or perhaps Brownies.

Natural magical abilities, connected to nature and 'the light', etc...

Mineral warrior dwarf :) Or, to keep up with the LA +2, mineral warrior aasimar dwarf. I think there are elven aasimars, so why not have dwarven ones?
