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.

Deathgripper enjoys sitting atop the highest points he can get to, sometimes even flying away from his clan's home territory to find a good place to sit down. When the moon is at his highest, he'd start letting out cries that pierce the night. He enjoys singing like this. For him, it relieves any stress he may have. But for others... not so much.

Most other dragons try to stay away from Deathgripper when he starts singing. It's not the best out there. It severely irritates most of the dragons with keep hearing. Yet unaware of the trouble he's causing, he keeps on singing in the night.
