Zoolingual

 * Most nymphs can speak with and understand most animals. Most nymphs who can form bonds with a physical form or area also tend to form a special bond with animals who drink reside or pass through their bonded area. They can often form telepathic and empathetic bonds with these creatures and feel their emotions and hear their thoughts even miles away, but especially when the nymph is in her bonded area.
