- —Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure description
Goliath Drow are enemies in Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure and Skylanders: Giants. They are part of the Drow family and the largest among them. They attack the Skylanders by charging at them with their two gauntlets, one attached to each arm. While charging, their gauntlets form spikes and glow green, protecting the Goliath Drow from any attack from the front. When a Goliath Drow stops charging, it is highly vulnerable to attacks. A charge immediately stops if the Goliath hits a wall or a Skylander.
The Goliath Drow are also one of the few enemies that return in Skylanders: Giants, with armored variants that must be weakened the same way as regular ones, with additional health. Brock, an enemy turned ally of the Skylanders, is the largest of the Goliath Drow.

Trivia
- In Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure, Goliath Drow's gauntlets are bronze, while in Skylanders: Giants, their gauntlets are dark gray.
- Their in-game description in Spyro's Adventure may be alluding to Juggernaut from X-Men, who has the power to become unstoppable once in motion.
- In the alpha versions of Giants, Goliath Drow retained their bronze shields and had a different moving animation. They could also perform sharp turns if hit while charging, making them much harder to dodge.[1]
- Earlier in Giants's development, reguliar Goliath Drow were treated as armored enemies. In order to damage them, the player first had to hit them enough to knock off their shields.[2]
- One alpha version of Giants includes a scrapped announcer take that mispronounces "Drow." [3]
- In the alpha version of Giants, Goliath Drow were originally to be renamed to ''Drow Goliath'' to possibly better fit in line with the rest of the Drow names format.
