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.

Screecher has jet black scales and two curling horns jutting from his head. Much like other howler drakes, he lets out an ear-splitting screech when threatened, and often does this a lot. Although not very bright, Screecher is very curious. He lives in Clya's Cave and wishes for a Night Glory Drake to come, for he has always wanted a Night Glory as a mate. Screecher spends most of the time wandering around the caves and catacombs underneath.
