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.

Jeffrie is a curious and incautious drake. One can easily observe him by placing a colorful or bouncy object in the clearing where he's often spotted. Soon, he'll stop by and investigate the thing. He's very easy to catch this way, except no one around is interested in preying on a howler drake or listening to its GoN-awful racket, hence why Jeffrie has not been killed despite his carelessness. If objects of interest look too similar to mushrooms or beans, he'll try to eat them.
