Howler is a wolf-headed warhorn with a snake coiling around the body of the horn.
- Aura
- The user's body is coated in fog.
- Nighttime-Effects
- The moon illuminates permanently at night
- Draw/Stow effects
- When drawn, small drops of water burst from the user's body.
- When drawn, the wolf will raise its head and let out a faint howl. The head raising animation will occasionally happen when the weapon is out, but it will not howl a second time.
- Footfalls
- The user leaves behind watery footprints that quickly evaporate into fog.
- Skill effects
- Upon blowing the horn, the wolf's head howls and makes a faint howling sound a moon illuminates in the crescent of the horn for a brief moment, and sparkles appear around it. A ghostly wolf head appears for a brief moment above the player when using Charge, Call to Arms, or Call of the Wild, and mirrors the smaller wolf in the horn in howling leaving a foggy breath along with rings from the vibration of it's howl.
-
Necromancer: Life Transfer and Tainted Shackles have the same effects as when using a horn skill if entering death shroud while wielding Howler.
