They are pale-skinned in my world.How about:
Drow being dark-skinned. A subterranean species would be pale-skinned.
Races is definitely an inaccurate term for the various types of humanoid, but I’m not sure “species” is accurate either. In most D&D worlds, the various humanoids were directly created by their respective patron deities, rather than evolving from a common ancestor by way of natural and sexual selection. Additionally, some humanoids seem to be able to breed true with other humanoids, which would make them subgroups of the same species at most in a real-world taxonomic model. Personally, I call them “peoples.”"Races" rather than "Species."
