Howling Moon is one of the Spell cards in Minion Masters.

Can only be cast on your side of the field.

Howling Moon first reduces the health of all minions to 50% of their max health, then summons 2 Werewolfs in front of your Master Tower (splitting them between the lanes), therefore the Werewolfs are not affected by the health reduction.
