It is no mystery where Howler Drakes got their names. Though not very bright, these emotive creatures employ an impressive vocabulary of loud chortles, shrieks, and songs to communicate with one another, and almost never stop chattering. Howler Drakes inhabit dense jungles, foraging in the fertile soil for mushrooms, tubers, and insects. When threatened, a Howler will flare its wings to display its bright red eye spots, while letting out an ear-splitting scream.

Though it may appear at first that dragons and drakes have much in common, the two are completely separate species. Drakes are smaller and less intelligent than their cousin species, though both dragons and drakes sit comfortably near the top of the food chain. They are always found bearing antlers and leathery wings. Drakes share many of the same habitats that dragons do, and typically hunt in packs.

Shat is an overly dramatic little fellow. With a lot of personality for such a small drake, he often charms dragons into giving him treats by making them laugh and giggle at his antics, be it attempts at "singing" or his way to wildly shake as if there was a major earthquake every time a breeze hits a twig he currently resides on.

He and his mate Hospi often hang around the lair of a certain red dragoness because she often leaves behind small treats for them and never shushes him away like other dragons.
