    —Description in the game

Drow Archers, also known as Elf Archers, are enemies introduced inSkylanders: Giants, but despite being called a Drow, they take on the appearance of yellow imps. They fire arrows into the sky to strike their targets from above, and use a fiery stomp if you get close to them in certain circumstances.

They return in Skylanders: Trap Team for Nintendo 3DS, with the name of Elf Archers, and the appearance of a Drow. One of them is trappable

Trivia

• Drow Archers share the same character models as Rocket Imps and Hob 'n' Yaros.
• Despite appearing as Imps in the final version of Skylanders: Giants, Drow Archers were originally modeled as regular Drow wearing armor. Their attack patterns were also different, firing flurries of flaming arrows in an arc (rather than shooting vertically into a target).
• Due to the remodel from Drow to Imp being something the developers did very late in the game's development, them still being called "Drow archer" may be an oversight.
• The Drow Archer's early description was "Speed, accuracy, FIRE."
• In the Nintendo 3DS level Tunnel of Love, there are statues of giant winged Drow Archers/Rocket Imps brandishing bows; however, none are fought in-game and Drow Archers would not make a full appearance on the 3DS until Skylanders: Trap Team (where they appeared with a proper elf design).
• Despite being called Elves in the 3DS version they are actually Drow which are an evil counterpart of them (Elf Healers are also referred to as elves)
  • Strangely though, they are the only two type of Drow to be called this.
