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.

Howler Drakes are well known for their variety of calls, but this female has expanded upon that repertoire to include purrs, hisses, and what can only be described as a "meow". When foraging for food, she often pounces on her "prey" (usually helpless mushrooms and roots) and plays with it for a bit before eating it. Once she found a ball of yarn that some human had lost and played with it for hours until she ended up hopelessly entangled in it. Luckily her owner found her quickly and cut her free, earning the human a well-meaning rub against her knees that nearly bowled her over.
