I'm writing a couple of books right now and i'd like to publish them in my country, and i'd like to know if all the thing related with drows, elves, beholders, and all this stuff is copyrighted.

You can use anything in the System Reference Document for D&D based novels unless WOTC has given you permission to use other info that is not in the SRD. If it's not in that document then DON'T USE it or WOTC will contact you. :) As for elves and dark skinned elves well they have existed for centuries going back to norse myths so you should be free about that.
FYI: I am not a lawyer either so I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure on the SRD bit. |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

There is a rumour going around that I have found god. I think is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.
