Editing Dark One

{{dnd-stub}}

'''Dark Ones''' are a race of light-averse humanoids native to the [[Underdark]] (and/or [[Shadowfell]]) of [[Dungeons & Dragons]], who have shown up over multiple editions. They are traditionally divided into two subraces; the ''Dark Creeper'', a small sized, furtive creature resembling something like a cross between a [[gnome]] and a [[satyr]], whilst the ''Dark Stalker'' is a taller, more humanoid being. They also appear in [[Pathfinder]], where they are called ''Dark Folk''.

The race first appeared in the [[Fiend Folio]] for [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]] 1st edition, and were updated to AD&D 2e in the Monstrous Compendium Fiend Folio Appendix. In 3e, they returned in the 3e Fiend Folio, and had an Ecology article in Dragon #322, where they received a PC status - this was when Dark Creepers and Dark Stalkers were first established to be different subraces of the same Dark One race. They fared better after 3e, appearing in the [[Monster Manual]]s for 4e and 5e, and in the first Pathfinder bestiary, with Pathfinder expanding upon the race's history and lore in the Bestiary 5, which also introduced the [[Caligni]].
