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.

The grove of trees and one large pool of water is filled with drakes, dragons with a lesser intelligence level than normal dragons. Howlers fill the trees and burrow under their roots, calling to each other with loud screams. Glaucus Drakes grumble to each other from their large pool, sometimes pulling themselves out of the water to interact with the rest of their family. The place is home to one huge family, each drake either a platonic sibling, coddling parent, or affectionate lover.

One Howler, a female with an obsession with digging insects out of the bark of trees and giving them to others, has a brighter coloring than some of the others. She flashes her wings open all the time, usually a display to lure members that she views as mates. Sometimes, she even tries this display with nonmembers and even humans, flapping her wings and twirling in circles to get their attention with low cooing chatter.
