Draegloths in [[Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition]] are tweaked slightly, mostly by losing the "genderless but masculine looking" thing they had going on in 3e. The iconic draegloth is the most common, and represents the male of the species, but on rare occasions, a [[drow]] will give birth to her [[glabrezu]] lover's [[half-fiend]] ''daughter'' instead. Known as "Favored Ones", these draegloths favor their mother's heritage, looking like Large-sized, four-armed female drow with a vaguely lupine cast to their features as well as claws on their fingers and toes. Whilst male draegloths are deeply religious bruisers who are kept as armed muscle for the Cult of [[Lolth]], Favored Ones are actively adopted into her priesthood and raised to become highly respected priestesses of Lolth.

...Which raises the question of why there's not a [[Glabrezu]]/[[Drow]] specific breed of [[Tiefling]], since they have not one but ''two'' [[Half-Dragon]] strains unique to them.

In addition, 4th edition added a third draegloth variant, in the form of the Draegloth Abomination. Take a wild guess where these come from. Here's a hint: [[drider]]s went from sterile outcasts to fertile and favored members of the cult of [[Lolth]]. That's right, the Abomination is a draegloth born to a drider mother. We don't know if these draegloths visually differ from their cousins, but mention is made of "spidery legs" in their writeup, so there's definitely an element of spider to them beyond their ability to spit webbing. Abominations are savage, feral and destructive brutes even by the standards of draegloth. No, seriously; they're too batshit murder-crazy for the ''[[drow]]'' to put up with! As a result, after abominations are born, their mothers "offer them up to Lolth" and boot them through a portal to the [[Demonweb Pits]], where they're out of mortals hair and Lolth can put up with them.

The standard Draegloth and the Draegloth Favored One debuted in the 4e Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide. The Draegloth Abomination debuted in the 4e [[Monster Manual]] 3.
