Howler/Tropes

Howler is an American supernatural-comedy video game series created by Daniel Wright, being developed by and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment since October 30th, 2007.

Tropes

 * A Dog Named "Dog": The second most important antagonist in the series is a naga called... the Naga.
 * A Lizard Named "Liz": Starting from Collin and Howler: Speedin' and Howlin', George owned a lizard that is indeed named Liz.
 * Absurd Phobia: Lex is shown to have a fear of cucumbers. According to Daniel, it was supposed to be a reference of how cats are scared of cucumbers because they think they're some kind of snake.
 * Action Girl: Bella, Jeanette, and many female villains.
 * Actor Allusion: TBD
 * Adorkable: Jeffrey himself, especially in his human form.
 * George as well.
 * All Animals Are Domesticated: Lex, who is a lynx, acts like a cat rather than an actual lynx.
 * All Men Are Perverts: Greg is pretty much this.
 * Amazon Chaser: It is shown that Greg can become attracted to girls because of their badass fighting skills.
 * Ambiguosly Brown: Wylda is supposedly African-American, yet she has green skin.
 * Animated Adaption: The 2019 cartoon.
 * Anti-Villain: Jeanette, due to the reasons she started her career.
 * Being Good Sucks: Howler feels this way due to the constant menaces he does.
 * Berserk Button:
 * NEVER harass/bully George around Georgia. Gavin the Ghoul Bully learned this the hard way in one of the comics' issues.
 * In the beginning of Howler 4: The Dark Virus, we saw that Greg will get pissed if you break his mirror.
 * The Naga would be pissed if you call him something he is not, like "worm" or "caterpillar".
 * Wylda will get really mad if you tend to steal her potions and/or break them.
 * Beware the Nice Ones: [Howler and Bella]
 * Beware the Silly Ones: George, since he can sometimes throw violent temper tantrums.
 * Big Bad: The Cthulhu qualifies as one.
 * Big Damn Movie: Howler ended up getting a movie in 2019, where the action in it became pretty epic, just like the first game.
 * Black Best Friend: Basically, Phillip is this to Jeffrey/Howler.
 * Brainless Beauty: Zoey. While she does look pretty for a zombie girl, she is straight-up dumb, similar to Zachariah.
 * Bratty Half-Pint: George.
 * Butt-Monkey: The Naga when it comes to his plans.
 * Casanova Wannabe: Greg.
 * Catchphrase:
 * The Naga: "Muahahahaha!"
 * Howler: "Oh, for the sake of everything!"
 * Bella: "Holy Bat!"
 * Chivalrous Pervert: Greg.
 * Cloudcuckooland: TBD
 * Cloudcuckoolander: George qualifies this trope.
 * Continuity Reboot: The 2019 film somewhat counts as one, since it's a retelling on how Howler came to be with a few differences.
 * Crossover: This franchise had three: A comic series with Good Ol' Magic, a DTV film with Collin the Speedy Boy and a TV episode with The Mysterious Mysteries of Mystery Manor as part of an arc.
 * Cursed with Awesome: Howler ends up getting bit by a supernatural wolf, which gives him an amazing ability to become a werewolf.
 * Cute Cry: George and Georgia fall into this category.
 * Cute Monster Girl: TBD
 * Darker and Edgier: Howler 4: The Dark Virus was sorta like this. While it still had its funny moments, this was considered the darkest game of the Howler game series.
 * Decoy Damsel: Leilani fits this.
 * Depending on the Writer: [Certain character's personality]
 * Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Howler managed to defeat the Cthulhu, who is considered to be the largest enemy Howler ever faced.
 * Distracted by the Sexy: Greg often gets distracted by hot chicks.
 * Dumb Muscle: Greg.
 * Dumbass Has a Point: George, despite not being too smart, has moments like these.
 * Enemy Mine: This happened once in Howler 4 when Naga joined forces with Howler (along with Lex and Wylda) to find a cure for the virus and defeat Shade.
 * It happens again in Collin and Howler: Speedin' and Howlin', where Naga teams up with Collin, Howler, and their allies to fight off Zargak.
 * Epic Fail: Many of the Naga's plans.
 * Evil is Hammy: The Naga.
 * Evil Laugh: The Naga has one.
 * Expy:
 * Some fans thought of Howler like an expy of Peter Parker/Spider-Man, due to the fact that they both got powers after being bitten by an animal.
 * Greg is thought of as an expy to Johnny Bravo... and it's easy to tell how so.
 * Kris and Kloe serve as expies of the Kanker Sisters from Ed, Edd n Eddy, since they have a crush on Howler, even though he's not interested in them just like the Kanker Sisters with the Eds. However, unlike them, they aren't antagonistic and they are considered pretty cute as their crush isn't that obsessive.
 * Shade is often compared to Him from The Powerpuff Girls due to their similarly creepy appearance, therefore thought of as an expy to him.
 * Femme Fatale: TBD
 * Five-Man Band:
 * The Leader: Howler.
 * The Lancer: George and Georgia.
 * The Smart Guy: Frank (well, kinda due to his disorder).
 * The Big Guy: Greg.
 * The Chick: Bella.
 * Sixth Ranger: Wylda.
 * Friendly Neighborhood Vampire: There is Bella, and she is shown to be a good person in heart.
 * Genius Ditz: Frank qualifies as one, mainly due to his disorder.
 * Getting Crap Past the Radar: There has been adult jokes hidden in the franchise. For example:
 * In the first game, when TBD.
 * In the fourth game, when Howler, Naga, Lex, and Wylda hide from an infected Greg, when we suddenly see his pants and underwear getting thrown out and hear him sigh in relief, while Howler and the others are disgusted, implying that he's... you know.
 * Gross-Out Humor: TBD
 * Heel-Face Turn: Howler 6: The Great War has a character who had this trope. Sasha was an antagonist and supported the war at first, but when she ended up getting betrayed by the general, she ends up turning good and joins Howler and the others to fight the General and all of his soldiers.
 * Hello, Nurse!:
 * Howler had this moment when he first saw Bella in the very first game.

 * I Am Not Weasel:
 * Both in the very first game and the movie, Howler was first mistaken by George, Greg, and Frank as a dog, a bear, and even a cat.
 * The Naga deeply hates when he's called a worm or caterpillar, even if in most of those cases, it's just to mock him.
 * Incoming Ham: TBD
 * Interspecies Romance: Howler (a werewolf) and Bella (a vampire) are in a relationship, despite being different species.
 * Jerkass: The Naga.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Georgia usually gets annoyed at others, especially her brother, to the point where she acts as a jerk towards them. However, despite all of that, she indeed has feelings for him and everyone else she gets annoyed by.
 * Wylda is known for sometimes getting cranky at people like the Zombie Duo, though she does show care for them and apologizes when she makes others cry, like in Howler: Attack of the Shadow Army, where Wylda yelled at Zoey and made her cry, and apologizing to her after realizing how much she hurt her feelings.
 * Large Ham:
 * Naga: WHY?! JUST WHY?!
 * [Greg]
 * Lingerie Scene:
 * In one of the comic issues, Lex unintentionally enters a room where Jeanette was seen in a bra and undies. This was played for laughs and fanservice.
 * Frank was seen wearing only underwear in one episode. This, of course, was played for laughs.
 * Lovable Sex Maniac: Greg.
 * Made of Evil: Shade qualifies this trope.
 * Meaningful Name: Howler (a werewolf), Frank (a Frankenstein's monster) and Greg (a gargoyle).
 * Mood-Swinger: Frank N. Stein falls into this category due to his multi-intelligence disorder.
 * Most Common Super Power: The majority of female characters (except Georgia for obvious reasons), whether heroines or villainesses, are thought of as pretty busty characters.
 * Ms. Fanservice:
 * Bella due to her attractive appearance.

 * Out-of-Character Moment: TBD
 * Prequel: Jeanette the Monster Slayer and Lex's Origins count since they take place before the events of the first Howler game.
 * Polar Opposite Twins: George and Georgia. While George is immature and likes to crack jokes, Georgia is more serious.
 * Rated M for Manly: Greg since TBD.
 * Release Date Change: The movie was originally going to release on October 18th, but got delayed to October 25th to avoid competition with The Addams Family (before it got delayed to a week earlier).
 * Really 700 Years Old: Bella is revealed to be 100+ years old, and yet, she's physically 21.
 * Shifted to CGI: The game series ended up gaining a CGI-animated movie.
 * Shout-Out: Basically, the games, comics, TV show, and films (both Attack of the Shadow Army and the 2019 film) has made tons of references of Collin the Speedy Boy.
 * References of other WBIE games like Good Ol' Magic and The Dinosaur Princess were made throughout the franchise as well.
 * Since Howler was made by the same guy who created Me and a Different Dimension and The School-tastic Misadventures of Ray the Robot, you should expect references to those too.

Trivia

 * Children Voicing Children: Wayne is voiced by Jay Gragnani in the TV series, who is a child actor.
 * Creator's Favorite:
 * The creator did admit in an interview that the Naga is his favorite villain of the whole franchise.
 * In general, his favorite characters are the Ghost Twins.
 * Dawson Casting: All young adult characters in the series are voiced by full-grown adults in the series.
 * By the time the first game was released, Charlie Schlatter (Jeffrey) was 41 years old and Bumper Robinson (Phillip) was 33 years old.
 * Mae Whitman (Lacey) was an exception since she was 19 when the first game was launched. However, as the years passed, she felt into this as well.
 * Bella is a cross between this and Playing Gertrude. Her voice actress Jennifer Hale was 35 by the time Howler was launched and her character is physically 21. However, since she's a vampire, she's actually 100+ years old.
 * Executive Meddling: the Howler TV series was originally planned to be add for Netflix, until the Warner Bros. executives thought it would be better for it to air on a basic cable channel (Cartoon Network) for better visibility, since not everyone has subscribed to a streaming platform (such as Netflix, Amazon Prime or Hulu).
 * Fake American: Bella, like all the other main characters, is American. Yet, she's voiced by a Canadian voice actor.
 * Fan Nickname:
 * TBD due to TBD.
 * [joke with Curious George for George]
 * God Does Not Own This World: Like every other WBIE game, Howler has its rights owned by Warner Bros., not the creator himself.
 * Playing Against Type:
 * Kat Cressida, better known for voicing the overenthusiastic and ditzy Dee Dee in Dexter's Laboratory, ends up voicing Georgia, who, unlike Dee Dee, is way smarter and is often annoyed by her brother's immaturity.
 * Doug Lawrence, who is known for voicing Sheldon Plankton from SpongeBob SquarePants and Filburt Turtle from Rocko's Modern Life, voices Greg, who, unlike them, is a macho man wannabe and shows a lot more interest in finding a love interest.
 * Scarlett Johansson and Angelina Jolie, who are strongly associated to the roles of action heroines like Black Widow in Scarlett's case and Lara Croft in Angelina's case, end up voicing Bella (who is rather TBD) and Jeanette (who is the film's main antagonist) for the movie.
 * Rule 34 - Creator Reactions: a user on Twitter once asked him about Rule 34 pictures with Howler characters, and Daniel did reply, saying, "Well, in all honesty, I knew stuff like this would happen to my game series. I did stumble across all of these "sexy" pictures of Howler and Bella on the web, and one fan even sent me a picture of the Zombie Duo... having fun while licking each other's tongues. Nuff said."
 * The same user replied with, asking what if he told him that Stella McDonnell was one of those people who made those Howler/Bella pictures. Daniel replied, saying "I like Stella and I like her work, but I don't see why she should make those kind of pictures and fanfics with my characters along with hers and some other creators' characters. I mean, you don't see me and other WBIE game creators like Oscar, Ryan, and Maria doing it, do ya? Now, I have NOTHING against fanfics and fanart. I sometimes read and look at them whenever I'm off work. There's those that make me burst into laughter, and there's some that... take things a bit too far. Of course, I'm talking about those adult fics and pics, and of course, all fanbases including that of my series will have messed-up fans. However, with Stella, a creator of another Warner Bros. Games, making these... That's different. What I'm saying is that she should stop with these over-the-top eye-burning pictures, or at least make it more kid-friendly for the sake of everything! Heh! See what I did there? Anyways, Stella, if you're reading this, think about how us creators would feel about this. If you don't find a way to redeem your mistakes, there WILL be consequences."
 * What Could Have Been:
 * When first announced, the Howler TV series was originally gonna air on Netflix. However, for an unknown reason, the idea of putting it on Netflix was scrapped and the show instead aired on Cartoon Network.
 * According to Daniel on his tweet, the Warner Bros. executives believed it would be better to air on Cartoon Network instead, since people have a bigger access to cable and satellite television systems than streaming platforms (Netflix included), besides the fact the channel being available on basic packages.
 * The series would eventually be available for streaming on HBO Max in 2020.
 * When he first started working on the first game, Daniel Wright originally had an idea for Jeffrey/Howler to have a pet similar to Collin with Cooper and Tommy, Kitrina with Terry, Charlotte with Tux and Bailey with Battie. However, as time passed, Daniel wanted to make his series different from the rest, so he scrapped the idea of Howler having a pet.
 * Indirectly, that still happened with Lex. However, he is George's pet instead of Howler's.
 * While Howler 6 was in production, one of the developers had an idea for a succubus character, but Daniel was unsure about having one in a kids' series, therefore it was at first rejected. However, after a few talks with Stella McDonnell, Daniel found a way to make her appropriate for the series by having Sasha be less TBD.
 * [Daniel playing with the possibility of redeem Jeanette in a future occasion, although it's not confirmed]
 * Written by Cast Member: [in case if you decide to have Lawrence writing for it as well since he's a writer too]
 * Written by Cast Member: [in case if you decide to have Lawrence writing for it as well since he's a writer too]

YMMV

 * Acceptable Targets: TBD

 * People in the Arab World have shown a hatred towards the character, Greg, ironically despite some of those countries' controversial laws about women's rights.

 * While Greg is liked by fans, many female SJWs hated him due to his personality, being often accused of being a misogynist and a potential sex offender.
 * Daniel replied those accusations by saying that, much like Johnny Bravo (owned by Cartoon Network, itself also owned by Warner Bros.), Greg is supposed to be an exaggerated parody of the macho stereotype and he wouldn't go that far as he knows when to give up.
 * Zach and Zoey have been shown to be disliked by a few fans due to TBD.
 * The Naga has been shown to be disliked by some fans due to him either being annoying, "overrated", or even both, with some of those preferring that they had more focus on other villains such as Jeanette.

WMG
These are fan theories for Howler.
 * Bella Stoker, just like Howler, was once a regular human.
 * Same for the Ghost Twins. It makes sense since in media, ghosts are spirits of dead humans.
 * George is smarter than we think he is.
 * Greg is a potential sex addict and possibly addicted to pornography as well.
 * [Jeanette]
 * [Naga]
 * Desire is George and Georgia's long-lost sibling or cousin.
 * Howler takes place in the same universe as Me and a Different Dimension and The School-tastic Misadventures of Ray the Robot.

Funny

 * Frank N. Stein is seen as a comic relief for the video game series. Other characters such as George, Greg, The Naga, Phillip, and the Zombie Duo are seen as comic relieves as well.
 * Every time Kris and Kloe chase after Howler can make fans laugh.
 * When Greg beat the crap out of Frank in Howler 4 after he broke his mirror.

Tear Jerker

 * In Howler 6: The Great War when Sasha started sobbing after being betrayed may bring viewers into tears.
 * Whenever Lex has flashbacks of his old owner, Sally Cox, in the series can bring some viewers to tears.

Nightmare Fuel

 * Things got dark in Howler 4: The Dark Virus when Shade's victims got infected and turned into hideous monsters, making it the darkest game in the whole franchise.

Ho Yay

 * In Collin and Howler: Speedin' and Howlin', after Collin mentioned Triston, Frank N. Stein started laughing and said he sounds sexy. Of course, this was done for laughs.
