This is lampshaded in Starless Night when Drizzt gets annoyed that Matron Baenre addresses him by his full name at the end of almost every sentence. Full-Name Basis: Most people call Drizzt by his full name when addressing him.Done correctly, by the time the opponent figures out what happened, half of his more important organs will be out of place. With perfect timing, Drizzt can step to the side in the split second his opponent's weapon passes through his own line of sight, blocking him from view and causing him to seemingly disappear. Flash Step: The "Ghost Step" technique.He isn't immune to this himself when fighting against King Obould and his orcs, he thought it absurd that the orcs didn't "know their place", though he does catch himself on it and reevaluate his position.
A recurring element in the earlier books deals with his struggle against this trope.
Blue Blood: Was a prince of a noble house before he went rogue.It's one of several reasons why he favours the harsh, violent life of a ranger even when other alternatives are available. Blood Knight: He may be a profoundly wise and moral man, but he also genuinely loves to fight, and will happily leap into the heart of the very deadliest battles just for the joy of it.Given the nature of Menzoberranzan society, this can also make him a White Sheep. Black Sheep: He becomes this to House Do'Urden after he flees Menzoberranzan at the end of Homeland.Beware the Nice Ones: He is polite and trusting almost to a fault (even more so in the earlier books), but if you mess with the people he cares about he will end you.He picked it up with wandering in the Underdark. Berserk Mode: Hunter mode, a bestial mindset that Drizzt can fall into when angry enough.Berserk Button: Threatening any of his friends will more than likely end with the ones doing the threatening dying horribly.Swapped after Wulfgar Took a Level in Jerkass in the runup to his and Catti-brie's marriage. Betty and Veronica: Veronica to Wulfgar's Betty for Catti-brie's Archie.Author Filibuster: Salvatore often uses Drizzt to deliver speeches about various morals, political stances, and viewpoints that are suspiciously relevant to things that happen in our world at the beginning of every part of a book.Amplifier Artifact: His anklets (really bracers, but he wears them on his legs) give him a massive boost to his running speed.
He eventually surrenders himself to the svirfneblin, mortal enemies of the drow, out of desperation and loneliness.
