{{trope}}
[[File:
In many works, wolves are heard howling at dusk or at night. It is a case of [[Noisy Nature]]. Also, it is often a case of [[Did Not Do the Research|not doing the research]] or [[Artistic License]]: wolves don't live in all settings, and they usually howl to communicate with each other, not to establish the mood or tell time. Often overlaps with [[Cock-a-Doodle Dawn]], which is when roosters crow at dawn.
This trope has two main types:
;Type A
:In type A examples, wolf howls are heard to herald the coming of the night. The wolves that do the howling are rarely seen.
;Type B
:In type B examples, the howls are heard late at night, to reinforce a creepy setting or establish a fearful mood. Again, the wolves are rarely seen.
See also [[Wolves Always Howl At the Moon]] and [[Howl of Sorrow]].
