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.

You haven't met crazy until you've met Olivia Nightscreecher. This Howler is something else entirely, she is both incredibly deceptive and a total idiot all at the same time. She has a knack for coming up with clever plans... the first halves of them at least. Olivia has almost no sense of forethought and will frequently dive into reckless situations with only half an idea of what to do next, usually dragging her hapless Vremya mate, Re, down with her. Olivia is well aware of Re's ability to create temporary time loops, it is her favorite tool to phenomenally misuse. She somehow thinks that because she gets herself into time loops, it means she's invincible. Honestly, she kind of thinks she's invincible no matter what, but the point is she keeps making the same mistakes even when she knows she's making them. Despite her wild behavior and radical stupidity, Olivia does care a lot for Re, and not just as a tool for mischief. She is extremely loyal to those that earn her trust.
