A kind of evil underground dwarves, just like drows area a kind of evil underground elves.

In Australia to call a person a "derro" is an insult. It means idiot.

I thought Duergars were evil underground dwarves...they maybe another sub race no ? like gold dwarves ? mh c bizarre

This is from my 2nd Edition Monster Manual:

Quote:

Derro are a degenerate race of dwarven stature. They have been skulking in the Underdark for ages, but they were discovered by the mind flayers only five centuries ago, and by the drow but shortly before that. The derro have made a name for themselves by their marked cruelty. It is said that a derro lives for just two things: to witness the slow, humiliating death of surface demihumans, and especially humans; and the perversion of knowledge to their own dark ends.

Derro are short, with skin the color of an iced over lake (white, with bluish undertones), sickly, pale yellow or tan hair (always straight), and staring eyes that have no pupils. Their features remind dwarves of humans, and vice versa. Derro have rough skin, spotted with short coarse tufts of hair. Most derro wear a loose costume woven from the hair of underground creatures and dyed deep red or brown. Their armor is leather, studded in copper and brass. Leaders wear tougher, kather armors, made from the hides of beasts far more rugged than cattle.

So yes, they're an evil race of Underdark Dwarves, even more cruel than the Duergar, who are marked slavers, while the Derro seem to live for killing and torturing.

Thanx that was more than i could ever find about that
