I'm not feeling like a ton of beer, I think I'll just get a howler and not a growler.

Scientific name: Trollus Vulgaris Ulularis

An obscure subspecies of common troll, this lesser known internet denizen and lurker was brought back into the mainstream's view during the campaigns/elections for POTUS 2016.

With its characteristic scent of fear and ignorance, the howler repeatedly attempts to shout its personal truths into everybody else's reality using mostly blunt force internet tactics, relying heavily on logically fallacious ambushes and what it believes to be shiny objects.

Fueled by delusion and derision, convoluted arguments are constructed/fabricated and secured to each other by a near infinite number of tenuous threads at randomized intersections, maintaining many points of continuity with the original discussion while completely fragmenting coherency. Appearing on forums as vehemently vigorous to suffering extreme torpor and all points in between, the howler becomes tick-like and difficult to shake off once it has determined that you are prey and has attached its victim(s). Its rationales are unknown; it is uncertain if a howler can actually reason for itself, as none has ever observably demonstrated a fully intact brain or usable mind.

Usually, standard troll management techniques apply. However, at the time of this writing some have escaped off the internet and into public office; meatspace procedures are in the process of evolving to accommodate the contingency.

Random dumbfuck: "I VETTED THEM AND THEY WERE ALL SATANISTS, SATAN DOES NOT GET INTERNET"

Everyone else, collectively rolling eyes and saying to themselves: "Fucking howlers."

Flea bitten mongrel, well known for ripping of the legs of Valdameer when he posts the fact that he's a flea bitten mongrel on random urban dictionary sites
Oh, Valdameer really should have complimented howler on his nice shiny glossy, silky, tantalisingly sexy coat... now he's going to have his legs removed

Howler is a nice dude who likes to suck on crusty toes. He tends to howl while people shove their feet in his asshole. Howler tends to hang around padawae and lay on his toes padawae is quite perverted and cuts off peoples toes in lour the howler in and then rape him but he usually fails because he has to belch every five seconds and that gives away his position.
Howler had his biggest howl yet it shattered my aney!
