Creatures within the cone must succeed on a Will save for take 1 point of Wisdom damage per age category (Will save half). #### ecology **Treasure** Triple Native to the windswept plane of Pandemonium, howling drag- ons are brilliant, scheming, and quite insane. A howling dragon is long and slender, with short, thin legs and narrow wings. Long spines form a frill behind its head, and twin clusters of simi- lar spines sprout from its shoul- ders. Its scales are mottled purple and black, darkening as the dragon ages. Its yellow eyes are large and feral-looking, with tiny pupils. Howling dragons make their lairs in isolated caverns amid the twisting tunnels of their native plane. When they find their way to the Material Plane, they seek out similar terrain, and are thus usually encountered far under- ground. They roam widely in the territory surrounding their lair, exploring every narrow crevice and tunnel. Howling dragons feed on any creatures they can catch— living, undead, or even construct. They enjoy the sensation of biting into a still-moving morsel.
