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.

Genaz loves his potatoes, but he loves them even more when cooked. Any travellers camping within the territory will sometimes discover that the Howler Drake has invited himself to their party and will push aside anyone sitting by the campfire. Pulling open the sack he carries around Genaz will start to roast the potatoes in the flames and shriek at anyone who attempts to stop him.
