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 love noise. But there is a limit. And this dragon has broken it.

A peaceful, early morning... not even the birds yet awake... and then--

"GOOD MORNING EVERYONE TODAY WILL BE A B-E-A-T-I-F-U-L DAY I'M GOING TO MAKE CAKE WHO HERE LIKES CAKE I LIKE CAKE HEY HEY GOOD MORNING EVERYONE HEY GUESS WHAT IT'S MORNING AND I'M MAKING CA--"

This is usually followed by a slapping sound and a high-pitched yelp on Hwiisk's part, the drake falling into mournful silence until short term memory loss and lack of common sense incite her to start screaming again. About the only reason the rest of her clan hasn't murdered her in her sleep yet is because she is just as good at cooking as she is at being loud.
