Draegloths are half-demon, half drow monstrosities in the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, particularly the Forgotten Realms campaign setting. They are created by the unholy union between an ascending high priestess of the drow goddess Lolth and a glabrezu.

They are about ten feet tall and have four arms, the upper arms being much larger than the lower ones. They have large claws on the upper arms and they use them for hand-to-hand combat, for they usually prefer the feeling of tearing flesh and sinew under their claws and fangs. Their face is stretched so it resembles that of a dog. Their flesh is as dark as a drow's, and they are covered in a fine coat of fur; they also have a white mane. They are sacred creatures to the Lolthites and are usually treated with respect.

Triel Baenre of Menzoberranzan, in the Forgotten Realms, had a draegloth son, Jeggred.
