The hook horrors name is CLACKER!

The character that spawned a thousand edgelord Drow PCs.

I feel like everyone that hasn't read the books judges Drizzt exactly like the overland NPCs do. Like some edgelord simply because they played a Drow. But the concept of him is the most selfless force for good born into an evil society, and his development after. How is a 'good' character edgy lol.

Drizzt got me reading. FREAKING READING!

Your expert forgot to mention Mooshie, who basically taught him about being a Ranger and Mielikki.

Clacker the Hook Horror, I think he was a pech? Been so long!

It makes sense that Lolth would like him to some degree. He might be the wrong alignment, but he's still chaotic.

This characters adventures literally helped deal, with the real life racism i suffered through as a kid.

Been with the channel for a VERY long while. Drizzt is what got me into fantasy, been waiting for this.

I remember playing as drizzt in baldurs gate dark alliance. love knowing more about him.

Finally the Drow of Drow the Legend...Drizzt🕸🕷👍🏼👍🏼💯

If I could thumbs up this a million times I would

Shoulda had me on for this episode, I can tell you what food Drizzt likes to eat. Anyway great show; enjoyed it.

The Drizzt episode is finally upon us? This pleases me.. Love it, thank you for this great episode

I’m now on the 23rd book. Awesome story. Insane.

Just here to support my boy Ben!

So much for going straight to bed tonight lol

I am at a point in my life where I look forward to this show all week.

I would watch / listen to this so much more if there were more episodes. Good stuff dudes.

Maybe a Jarlaxle or Artemis video? Also it was a Pech cursed by an evil wizard in a tower to look like a hook horror, they called him clacker

Oh wow one of my other favorite shows Faerun History....this is awesome👍🏼👍🏼💯

I’ve been reading about him since I was 11, back in 94-95.

I thought shimmergloom was a Shadow dragon

Drizzt's ability to levitate was from his house pendant. When he went to the surface, the sunlight destroyed the magic in the pendant, as it does in nearly all Underdark magic items, due to the magic being attuned to the Underdark itself. The same destruction happened to the magic in his cloak. He keeps the cloak as a momento.

Just got done with running Dragon Heist for my players and I'd honestly love to see more stuff on Jarlaxle.

I've been waiting for this episode for so long.

Clacker. A pech cursed by a wizard.

Man, Salvatore is a great writer. Every one of the Drizzt books, the cleric quintet, & any Forgotten Realms contributions as well as his demon wars saga & any other standalone worlds he has written about never disappoint. I'm so surprised that Drizzt hasn't gotten his own HBO, R rated cartoon or even movies. I still read the crystal shard & streams of silver every spring for no reason at all beyond living them. I also love Paul S. kemp's books, for anyone that's a fan of Salvatore & the Drizzt series, I highly, highly recommend Kemp's Egil & Nix novels. There's a trilogy of them so far as well as one or two novella short stories that, I think, are Audible exclusives. Love it!!

More Lore Goodness! Thank you!

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!

This is what I was living for

Drizzt is so freakin epic!

The Hook Horror was a Pech who was transformed and couldn't remember his name. Drizzt and Belwar called him Clacker.

Since you guys kept talking about it you guys should do a video of the top 10 swordsman.

Dantrag is the weapons master drizzt fights when he goes back to the underdark.

I gave been playing since 89. I read the preludes 30 years ago, all three, in 2 days. I am amazed how much I remember!

Drizzt: I've studied the sword for decades, survived the underdark and icewind Dale, and befriended numerous powerful people Entreri: I've studied the sword for decades, given up emotions (except for rage apparently), and am an incredibly deadly assassin Jarlaxle: magic item shenanigans yall

Y'all forgot to use one other word in that description, matriarchal society

"You thought about that?" -Drizzt to New kid

I’ve been waiting to listen to will rant about Drizzts

Drizzt made dual wielding cool.

Clacker was the hook horror.

Nice coverage, loving the artwork you chose aswell good vibes all round

I read the dark elf trilogy when I was 19. I'm 41 now I know the legend of Drizzt from Menzoberranzan all the way to Mythril Hall

Drizzt is by far one of my favorite characters, and I've been reading the books sine they came out back in the day. But yeah this guy got a lot wrong timeline wise and just in general. There's still enough there that's right that I won't harp on him ~Too~ much. But now you guys need to do one about my other all time fav... Raistlin Majere.

Drizzt being alone and going feral was a really cool idea and the fact that feral nature can come back is really cool

Oh my god : I got all the references. I mean.... I am french canadian and I have NEVER EVER met anyone who knew about Drizzt... I love listening to you

I like how Drizzt is outside the culture of his people & everywhere else. A stranger in a strange land.

Loved this! I have been searching for someone to do a full recap of Drizzt's story WITH spoilers for a while. I've been reading these books since I was a kid, and even rereading them it's hard to put the whole story in context. If anyone has any recommendations let me know.

The hook horror was Clacker . Clacker was a pech who was polymorphed by a human wizard who drizzt trys to help clacker find .

I've been reading Drizzt for a long time. He should ascend to godhood for rangers. He is the epitome of the ranger. He would be a kind God, feeding clothing and taking care of those who cant.

Drizzt's piwawfi cloak got pretty beaten up during his 10-11 years in exile. It was made of fine threads, in a combination of black, silver, red, and purple colors. But it probably just looked like a muted gray blob after Exile. And when he came to the surface, that cloak shrivelled within his first month, as the result of lack of faezress energy recharging, and exposure to sunlight. See Sojourn. He then picked up a ratty cloak off a gnoll leader that he killed. That got burned off of him by the red dragon Hephaestus. Drizzt is then awarded a fine, thick cloak for helping the Weeping Friars, and he heads off to Icewind Dale. At the beginning of The Crystal Shard, he has a brown cloak in the summer, to match the color of the tundra soil, just like the tundra yetis... When the Companions traipse across the south to rescue Regis, Drizzt rocks a black cloak. At the end of The Halfling's Gem, he overlooks Mithral Hall from a cliff, in a cloak that we are told is forest green when the same scene is elaborated upon in the next novel, The Legacy. (Mithral Hall is located in a temperate, forested environment.) As the Companions head out of Icewind Dale in The Silent Blade as winter is turning to spring, Drizzt has a gray cloak again. This would make sense traveling in a snowy area. But forest green has been the main color that he has gone with, since he is a ranger traveling in the woods so often. It's definitely his signature look, now.

FINALLY AN EPISODE ABOUT THE COMPANIONS OF THE HALL👍👍👍WOOOO

Ahhh yeah I been waiting for this video

Some people read the Bible for their moral and ethical guidelines. Others read The Legend of Drizzt

" two hands" - Zaknafein.

An hour!? An hour?! Hell yeah!!

Great books. I’m on the third one! Sojourn!

these were the first boxes i really read and i read like the first 3 or 4 sets of the books i really enjoyed them

The hook horror was a deep gnome transformed by a wizard

Been reading about drizzt since late 80s

I'd love to see a video on Elminster, I'd never heard of him before this but he sounds amazing

Guenhwyvar high elf word for Shadow. Salvatore has a back story for the he'll cat as the Drow call her. She was a real cat that a wizard/ ranger was gonna turn into a magic totem. But the statue supposed to disappear when the cat is summoned but it remains.

I get a kick how Drizzt was slated to be a side character originally, but turned into a literary icon. Also, to the question of who would win between Drizzt and Elminster, they're both goodly. They would not fight each other. If they met, it would be because something REALLY MESSED UP was happening and they need each other to stop it

Jarlaxle is most definitely an ally. And bregan de aerthy has female drow In it.

Garyest of the Stus. Right next to Elminster

Jarlaxel is absolutely Catowoman

It's a Pearl Harbor situation lol Turns out my hands are what was holding me back this while time. Hahahahaha

klanker was a earth sprite turned by a crazy wizard

I love Drizzt so much

The bracers are actually anklets. The Drown he got it from wasn’t wearing them correctly. His cloak was torn and and he stopped wearing it.

Drizzt was a chosen of Mielikki but protected by Lolth since birth. Her demands of her servants to hunt him down brought endless chaos and upturned the stagnant city completely. She definitely loved it and even some drow think he was protected by her

I first read RR Salvatore's novel (the second book in Dark Elf Trilogy) on my first combat tour in Afghanistan 2003. Myself being versed in weapons based martial arts (Inosanto Lacoste Kali & Bujinkan) the Drizzt stories intensified my motivation in my studies. Now, I'm re-reading the series in order starting from "Homeland."

Drizzt gains monk powers?! Thats awesome!

My favorite type of elf due to the role play ability

YES I HAVE BEEN WAITING SO FUCKING LONG

I agree, the was Salvatore wrote Drizzt especially the fight scenes are so detailed you can actually picture in your minds eye every movement. I’ve read a few of his other books and the fighting choreography is not as detailed. I also believe people like him because of his just over story. Abusive upbringing, outcast, people judging him by the color of his skin and it the content of his character. Drizzt getting his come ups, hero then legend!

Overload. I’ll gladly take all of this! That dragon shit on .: sketchy Gilmore

Drizzt Do’urden is a Chose of Lolth, and he has the Favor of Lolth.

well i know what im doing for the next hour

I was there. I read all of them time and time again..im 47 . now I'm dark again

Hey guys here is our Drizzt episode! The most legendary character in all of Dnd but we're not going to tell you about any of the cool shit cuz spoilers!

The expert wasn't as expert as I was hoping he would be. But still watched the whole thing!

Drow are my favorite race in dnd

I recently got into DnD my friends who play have been dropping loads of stuff on me 😁

Get out of my chair! That cracked me up.

I loved the books

He has a debt of 50 gold pieces and 7 bottles of wine to me

I was so pissed when I found out that "the hunter" was just drizzt going into a barbarian rage.

hook horror is named clacker for the sound his "kind'' made

reading timeless by r.a.salvatore right now

The other weapons masters name was Dantrag

From what I remember Drizzt was in the underdark til 40-50, made his way to the top, spent some years getting his overland bearings + getting used to light, saved a village from an ogre? then made his way to icewind dale. He was prob 60 at that point in the novels, but was that retconned?

Ah, +3 Scimitars, good old days.

Drizzt's name WAS absolutely influenced by history and culture... its actually a tribute to one of D& D's creators Gary Gygax. Thats why his first name is so funky : )

The minute he said, “I couldn’t care enough to know about Drizzt…” I clicked.

Would be cool to see WotC to stat block Drzzt since there are tons of individual stats blocks made for him.

Nice chat :)

"I read books about Drizzt 3 times over and I am still gonna call him Drittz". Jesus f-n christ

Bit late but always excited nevertheless
