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]
