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 trees in the grove are alive with flashes of moving wings and loud, calling screams. Visitors of the area find that the calls get louder as night falls and the grove clears of all nonmembers of the family once the sun disappears. While most of the Glaucus Drakes dive deep in the large pond to get rest, some Howlers stay up, singing songs to each other with mixed messages.

This Howler, one who is smaller and possessing a high, keening voice, shrieks to the rest of his family, not minding any retaliation from those who try to sleep. He is always moving, hugging onto another Howler in one moment and then climbing onto the back of a drowsy Glaucus the next. His nights are full of crooning songs and cuddling with the other drakes, which of course tires him out by morning.

Most visitors find that the Howler still likes to pin them down and nuzzle up to them when exhausted and lethargic.
