With unique insights into the nature of the undead, many drow dhampirs and normal dhampirs become adventurers and monster hunters. Their reasons are often deeply personal. Some seek danger, imagining monsters as personifications of their own hungers. Others pursue revenge against whatever turned them into a drow dhampir or normal dhampir.

All manner of macabre bargains and necromantic influences might also give rise to a drow dhampir and or a normal dhampir.
