Drizzt Do'Urden

Drizzt Do'Urden is born into House Do'Urden in the drow city of Menzoberranzan. Taught martial skills by his father Zaknafein, he grows at odds with drow society's cruelty and the worship of the spider-goddess Lolth. His moral refusal to participate in expected atrocities leads to exile from Menzoberranzan; familial and political violence—most notably the sacrifice of Zaknafein to appease Lolth—are pivotal events precipitating his departure and subsequent life wandering the Underdark and later the surface.

Sources identify Drizzt as a member of the drow (dark elves) race; he is born into House Do'Urden and is described in Homeland as the prince/third son of that house. The provided summaries do not supply precise measurements or exhaustive clothing details. Narratives associate him with the martial trappings of a drow noble and warrior and with a magical statuette that summons his panther companion, Guenhwyvar.

Within the supplied texts Drizzt is characterized primarily by martial skill and survival ability: he is trained in weapons by his father Zaknafein, survives exile, traverses and fights within the Underdark's tunnel-mazes, and defends himself while seeking a new home. He possesses a magical panther companion (Guenhwyvar), summoned via a statuette in the novels, and his defining behavior is an ethical code that rejects drow cruelty and prioritizes friendship and peace over the prevailing norms of his birth society.
