Howlermoon

Howlermoon is a huge, long, dragonesque monster corrupted by the Dark Forest. His pelt is a dusty dark blue with navy blue color points and outer wings, with strange stripes on his chest, face, and haunches. Howlermoon has three pairs of wings totaling six individual, four ultraviolet eyes, and two spiked horns that curl up into a the shape of a halo. His teeth are long and sharp, his muzzle elongated and slim, resembling a canine. He is as big as he is long, his body able to coil and curve over itself before tapering into a tufted tail. Howlermoon has formidably muscular forearms and shoulders with unnaturally long claws sprouting from his paws.

Along his pelt are bits of moss and ultraviolet hyacinths, giving a sickeningly sweet scent wherever he goes.

Long ago, during the reign of Verdurestar, a cat was born with parents of two different Clans. As it had never happened before in the history of the Clans, many cats observed the pregnancy closely. The mother bore a single Kit, and named him Howlerkit, as his cries filled the jungle the moment he took his first breath. As he grew, it was clear that something was very wrong with him. He sprouted wings and horns, traits from both his birth parents. To the extremely religious VerdureClanners, this young tom was a curse. He began spitting up and choking on flowers, his wings weak and unable to sustain flight. It was if the Divines themselves cursed him. Despite this, the tom worked as hard as he could to be respected by his Clan, overworking his already frail body. Verdurestar was inspired by his passion, and ended up naming him VerdureClan's first Deputy. Half the Clan erupted in outrage, believing the tom to have cursed the Clan, the other half seeing him worthy, his blood not being his fault. Howlermoon began to speak out against the treatment of himself and the other HalfClanners appearing in other Clans, but wasn't listened to. Not even a week after he was appointed his new position he was murdered in cold blood by one of his Clanmates. His death sparked the much needed conversation and change in VerdureClan about HalfClanners and outsiders, and slowly, VerdureClan began to change into the welcoming place it is today.

With the previous rigid thinking of the Divines, Death (known as Silver at the time) was instructed to send Howlermoon to the Forest of Forgotten Shadows. Rejected from the Garden of Stars, Howlermoon ended up being the third soul to appear in the Forest. Blinded by rage for how he was outcast by his own Clanmates and even his ancestors, he let the evil of the Forest of Forgotten Shadows consume him. His hate gave him the ability to walk between the realms of the forgotten afterlife, meeting with the only other souls at the time, Shatteredshriek and Splitmuzzle. Together, they plotted for a way to escape. But when the skies opened up and the cats of the Forest of Forgotten Shadows escaped, Howlermoon was left behind. Enraged and now utterly alone, he was forced to wait for another opportunity. That chance came over a year later, as Death clashed with Splitmuzzle. The battle opened a rift in the sky once more, and the darkness that consumed Splitmuzzle then infected Howlermoon as he escaped his prison. The darkness corrupted him, flaying his mind and transforming him into a mindless, wretched dragon with an insatiable hunger.

His active, In-Roleplay history can be found on the Dark Forest Portal page and the CavernClan-VerdureClan War page.

Howlermoon's one and only ability as a beast was his strength. It was overwhelming-- the power of his bite was enough to split a cat in two and a clash with his paws were enough to shatter bones.
