Darkvision

Darkvision is a type of vision that many creatures have, in addition to "normal sight", that allows them to see in even total darkness.^[1]^[2]^[3]

Description[]

Darkvision allows a creature to discern forms, as in normal daylight vision, but only in shades of gray. Creatures with this ability can only see in the dark up to a certain distance,^[1]^[2]^[3] typically around 60 feet (18 meters) as in the case of dwarves.^[4] Underground-dwelling creatures often possess superior darkvision that allow them to see in the dark at distances twice as far.^[5] Darkvision does not function in darkness that is magical in origin.^[6]

Creatures[]

Creatures known to have darkvision include drow,^[5] duergar,^[7] dwarves,^[4] illithids, and minotaurs.^[8]
