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.

The third in a line of chatting, publicly irritating Howlers, Yell is actually the quietest in the trio, but that really isn't saying much. She still chatters endlessly and cannot keep a secret to save her life. She's a gossipy, little drake, repeating whatever juicy news she hears among her sisters and anybody else within earshot. When Yell knows something, everybody knows it, too. Yell is not, however, quite as defensive as her sisters, who so fiercely stick together and often have to scare off bigger dragons. She's significantly more trusting of others, though this also makes her pretty oblivious to active threats. Yell may also be the least intelligent of her sisters. She's a completely inept hunter, fighter, and pretty much everything else. It's her sisters that have to carry her and make sure she's ok, which can lead to some tension between them.
