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.

Threviem has particularly vibrant eye spot markings, and as a direct result, she has had considerable success in the game of scaring away scary things. Thrilled by her high level of awesomeness, the drake pranced and preened wherever she went, but as much attention as she attracted among her peers, she was soon forgotten as a passing curiosity. And that wouldn't do at all! Determined to at once both utterly traumatize every foe she encountered for life and earn the endless worshiping adoration of her kind, she set about giving herself roughly fifty million bright red spots via the virtues of red clay and berry stains. However, not all has gone as planned; she now looks more like a pox-stricken dalmatian than anything, and often attracts more laughter than respect! Although, perhaps there's something to be said for a defensive strategy that leaves your predators too busy rolling on the floor cackling to try to eat you...
