Over time, adaptations in the visual representation of Drizzt and other drow (dark elves) have shown a shift from black to purple skin tones, which some may argue is an attempt to sidestep controversy. Critics, however, warn that altering these representations in response to current cultural pressures could undermine the original storytelling and the character’s integrity.
