The character can comprehend and communicate with animals. The character is able to ask questions of and receive answers from animals, although the spell doesn’t make animals any more friendly or cooperative than normal. Furthermore, wary and cunning animals are likely to be terse and evasive, while the more stupid ones make inane comments. If the animal is friendly, it may do some favor or service for the character (as determined by the DM).
Note: This spell does not work on beasts, magical beasts, or vermin.
