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.

Chatter is a very typical Howler Drake. He makes a nearly constant noise, for the most part all through his sleep cycle as well which has earned him outcast sleeping arrangements. He has an annoying hobby of warbling and screeching that he has labeled 'singing'. In addition to his unwelcome singing, he serves as hatchling entertainment with many fantastical stories that are only occasionally interrupted by shining things. Chatter has a way with hatchlings and quiet loners, reassuring them and drawing them out, showing a caring, mindful side of the drake.
