Animal Espionage	comment	Spying on people is an activity carried out by humans, but it can also be carried out by animals. These animals can have implants allowing for communication, be sapient or not sapient, and maybe even have chips that allow you to record what they see. The animals can be trained, used as tools by the humans, or could be doing it for their own purposes. Most have some degree of Amplified Animal Aptitude. Often they're Beneath Notice, but those they spy on may catch wise. For Carrier Pigeons, see Instant Messenger Pigeon. Supertrope to Literal Surveillance Bug and Stealthy Cephalopod. If another character does this by using the eyes of the animal, it's Animal Eye Spy.

Animal Espionage / int_1367cea0	comment	In Worm, Taylor eventually learns to interpret the data from the bugs which she controls. Even one or two bugs in a room are enough for audio surveillance to some extent, and just consider how many insects are around you right now. Even before that, she could keep track of where the bugs were. While this didn't allow for precise intelligence, it allowed her to track people within her power's range and determine the layout of an area.

Success can vary heavily, but if the game is run by a Killer Game Master, expect that the random group of bandits will instantly go to DEFCON 1 the moment they spot an owl sitting in a tree near their camp at night. Illithids use cranium rats as spies, disseminating them in humanoid settlements and counting on the fact that humans don't generally pay much attention to rats to allow them to get anywhere and listen in to secret conversations.

Animagi can turn themselves into animals so as to go around without attracting suspicion as a human, though there's always an element to the disguise that identifies their human form. In Rita Skeeter's case, she turns into a literal surveillance bug (a beetle). This causes Bellatrix Lestrange to kill a fox at one point, as she believed it to be an auror... except in this case it genuinely was a fox.

The experiment succeeded in giving Krosp human-level intelligence and making other cats desire to obey him, but the project ultimately failed because ordinary cats couldn't understand complex commands, and they have terrible attention spans anyway (so if he could get them to understand what he'd wanted they'd set off intent on doing it... and then promptly get distracted by an interesting glint of light or similar and forget about it).

As birds of prey they can watch from high above, as seagulls they can fly lower or land and be close enough to overhear people, as insects they can actually creep or fly about inside of buildings. Insect senses take practice to get used to; when they morph cockroaches for the first time, Jake stays human to talk until the others work out how to understand his words. In the first few books the Yeerks pay little attention to things like a dog hanging around near an outdoors meeting, but they soon catch on and take great pains to keep discussions inside and kill any animals that get into their facilities. Much like the pests they turn into, the Animorphs are frequently able to find ways around their countermeasures.

Animal Espionage / int_929cef3c	comment	In The Immortals, Daine's animal magic makes her able to speak to and be understood by animals, who almost universally love her and want to do her favors. Proximity to her makes them more intelligent in human terms, able to understand human speech. In Wild Magic a bat alerts her to an army moving covertly, and she's able to sit at a map and call on owls and more bats to work out the positions of all the enemy camps. In Wolf-Speaker she develops the ability to share animals' bodies, asking a cat to investigate a mages' tower and a squirrel to break into a fort and look at some papers which Daine is then able to read. After that she becomes able to shapeshift and look into things herself. Wild magic is assumed by most to be an old wives' tale, but as she becomes more famous her enemies wise up and start noticing things like squirrels reading maps or animals where they shouldn't be.
