Graphics

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, 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.

Anomaly:

Auras may not show up after leaving a particle-heavy area, e.g. Frostgorge Sound.

Trivia

• Howler originally featured unique day and night appearances, however, a game patch which was intended to remove an aura stacking exploit and some other nighttime bugs took away this effect.
• The missing nighttime effects were restored with the December 15, 2015 game update.
• Incidentally, Howler's nighttime effects were the result of a bug.
