A character can talk to animals, and they (mostly) answer as if they, too, were human. In the prototypical version, which usually ends up being the main character and the focus of the show, this means having full-on conversations with them, rendered in the work's language via the Translation Convention. Most of the time we will, at some point, be shown the Translation Convention explicitly by showing the character making, say, squirrel sounds back and forth with a squirrel. Oddly, they can also converse verbally with animals that don't use vocal communication at all. Note that this makes every animal in the world qualify as a Speech-Impaired Animal of sorts, since they're all at least intelligent enough to use a language. This makes carnivorousness morally sketchy for both animals and humans, but don't expect this to be addressed one bit. (Imagine what would happen if one of these characters ended up in a slaughterhouse!) Not only can someone who speaks Animal talk to every kind of animal, but every kind of animal usually seems to speak the same Animal Talk too. It seems as if the presence of someone who speaks Animal heightens an animal's intelligence. They will verbally express an understanding of human actions that the animal's own actions up to then gave no indication of. The ability to talk to animals is also a common superpower. In the early days, it was fairly common, but due to the perceived lameness of Aquaman-style "talking to fish", it's now most often given to the Super Team's wacky guy or Plucky Comic Relief as a sort of joke power. It's more useful when you can command the animals you communicate with; sometimes, the communication part is left out, and they can only really control animals, rather than actually converse with them. This tends to avoid the problems mentioned above, in that you might be able to assume the animals are simply being compelled to carry out the commands by whatever magic or Applied Phlebotinum gave the character the powers in the first place. Sometimes a character can make both work for them. Speaking of which, unrelated shows with lots of magic or Applied Phlebotinum running around can sometimes result in a device that can replicate these kinds of effects for a one episode story. Don't confuse this ability with Talking Animal, which is when an animal can naturally speak a human language. Also, note that if you shapeshift into an animal or a Beast Man, you'll usually learn how to speak Animal Talk too. See also Animal Eye Spy, where the character can see through the eyes of an animal. Compare Suddenly Fluent in Gibberish which is an ability to speak gibberish or some other made up language. If the animals they communicate with and control are "unpleasant" ones like rats or cockroaches, then they'll be a Pest Controller. A character with this ability is often a Friend to All Living Things or an Animal Lover.Don't know the difference?An Animal Lover likes animals. A Friend to All Living Things is liked by animals. May overlap with Inexplicable Language Fluency if the character is understanding wild animals they've never encountered before or if the character is a baby, since babies shouldn't be able to understand anything, let alone animal noises. Common in characters who Never Learned to Talk. |

In the Heralds of Valdemar, Animal Mindspeech is one of the rarer Gifts, but not unknown. Most animals do not speak in words, but Animal Mindspeakers can understand their thoughts and feelings, and sometimes see through their eyes. There are also varying degrees of Uplifted Animals with the power of speech: some can be heard only by those with the ability to read thoughts, but others (like gryphons) can speak vocally. | |

Several characters in the Dragon Age series seem to understand Mabari warhounds (a dog breed with magically enhanced intelligence) well enough to have a conversation, even though it sounds like random barks to the player.

George Sunday in My Hero (2000) uses a device called the Interspecies Interpreter in Series 3 #3 which allows him to talk to animals (except dung beetles, as George says "why would you want to, they live in dung"), specifically his in-laws' dog. It returns in Series 6 #3 where George in his new persona, George Monday, uses it on the in-laws' cat to find out why Janet gives it so much attention. |

Disney Animated Canon: Kronk from The Emperor's New Groove can talk to little woodland creatures, thanks to his Junior Chipmunk training. In Cinderella, Cinderella has conversations with her mice friends, although this may be the mice speaking human. All the Merfolk from The Little Mermaid can communicate with sea creatures. Melody, Ariel's daughter, inherits this trait in The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea. However, her powers alienate her peers because they think that she's a freak. Tarzan from Tarzan speaks fluent animal (he even teaches it to Jane). However, for all his skill, there are some animals who just aren't interested in talking. Like Sabor. Mama Odie from The Princess and the Frog. Strangely, her pet snake, Juju, does not speak. The sequel books also reveal that Tiana and Naveen have retained this ability even after returning to their human forms. Mowgli from The Jungle Book (1967) actually gained the ability to talk to animals (such as Baloo the bear and Bagheera the leopard) because of the fact that he was raised by them and understands what they're saying. Penny and Cody in The Rescuers and The Rescuers Down Under. Adults don't appear to be able to understand animals, though neither character is seen interacting with other children in their respective movies. Most members of the Madrigal family in Encanto have magical abilities, and five-year-old Antonio is given the gift of talking to animals near the beginning of the film. The first thing he does with it is ask a group of coatis to warm up his grandmother's seat for her. The animal fairies from Disney Fairies. Of these fairies, Fawn is especially gifted. Rosetta could also do this when she became an animal fairy for a while due to Zarina's Pixie Dust Alchemy swapping her talent with Fawn's and giving her talent to Iridessa. |

Squirrel Girl from The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl has the ability to talk to squirrels, among other many vaguely defined talents. Oddly, the squirrels have the ability to talk with the reader. She tends to assume that other animal-themed superheroes have this ability as well — cue her trying to get Wolverine to try to talk to a wolverine, and even trying to get Tigra, Black Cat, Kitty Pryde, Hellcat etc. to talk to a cat. | |

In The Simpsons, Homer Simpson is shown on numerous occasions to be an extreme Omniglot. In one episode, where he joins the Naval Reserve and later is believed to have stolen a nuclear submarine, he meekly informs each aircraft-carrier surrounding him that "It's his first day" in their respective language, to hordes of laughter. This includes that of the SS Antartica, crewed entirely by penguins. | |

Serina: The fork-tailed babbling jays have enough vocal flexibility to speak the much simpler languages of the non-sapient birds they share the desert with. Daydreamers can communicate with most of their non-sapient dolfinch cousins, whom the small-prey ecotype percieves as akin to their own children in terms of intelligence. |

Baldur's Gate: Minsc the ranger has frequent conversations with his miniature giant space hamster Boo. While it's more than likely that he's just a little crazy, a talking miniaturized space hamster wouldn't be the weirdest thing in the setting. Baldur's Gate III grants players the opportunity to actually talk with animals, as well, via the "Speak With Animals" spell, leading to interesting conversations with a wide array of creatures from high-and-mighty cats to weary wolves to merchantile punster rats. This can lead to an amusing conversation with Astarion, your party's rogue elf vampire, if you tell him he can only feed on animals — specifically, "Nothing we can have a conversation with." |

My Little Pony: My Little Pony (G3) has Pinkie Pie with her "squink" thinking procedure, her obsession with the color pink. How positively pink is she? She was once able to command some pink fireflies to basically act as flashlights for the gang during their quest. When asked how she'd managed that, Pinkie Pie matter-of-factly answers, "I speak pink." My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Fluttershy is able to talk to the animals she takes care of (though some scenes suggest that animals just naturally understand pony-speak, the same way Snoopy and Garfield understand humans) and can interpret the sounds they make as well. In "The Cutie Map", when the heroes are imprisoned and their powers taken away, Fluttershy tries to ask a nearby bird for help, but it doesn't respond to her and she cannot understand its speech, meaning that her ability is magical in nature. Note that while she can talk to and understand animals, she does not control them and most of the animals she interacts with are simply nice enough to listen to her. In "A Health of Information", royal jelly from a special beehive is needed to cure Zecora's illness. Fluttershy tries to explain her circumstances and politely ask for the royal jelly, but the bees don't care and attack her anyway, and she's forced to find another way to get it. Also doubles as an Actor Allusion in "Hurricane Fluttershy", when Twilight Sparkle, voiced by Tara Strong (the voice actor for Bubbles), is chattered at by a squirrel, to which her response is "Do I look like I speak squirrel?" Iron Will can understand what his goats say. |

Talking to animals is one of the lesser-known powers of Wonder Woman, though this is sometimes just written as her being a Friend to All Living Things and is usually a low-level psychic power. This power is back as of Wonder Woman (Rebirth), though because animals don't really have the capacity for big concepts and mostly think about food, there's really not much conversation to be had. | |

Harry Potter: Harry gained the power to talk to snakes the first time Big Bad Voldemort tried to kill him. Parselmouths are people who can talk to snakes by hissing at them. When a snake talks to a Parselmouth, they hear the hissing as if it were in their native language. Both Ron and Dumbledore use this ability in nice subversions. In the last book, Ron manages to open the Chamber of Secrets by remembering the Parseltongue phrase that Harry had spoken previously, while in the sixth book, Dumbledore is implied to have learnt to understand spoken Parseltongue, but is not capable of actually speaking it. |

In Relativity, the supervillain known as Cricket can speak to insects and spiders. He wants to use his powers to do legitimate research on insects, but no one believes he has the ability. He uses bugs to help him steal things just to prove that he can do it, rather than out of any desire to be evil. | |

The next book series, Protector of the Small, deals with some of the repurcussions. With Stefan and Daine's help, Kel is able to strike a deal with her fractious gelding Peachblossom, allowing her to ride him and prevent him from being sent to pull carts or be killed; the horse insists on no spurs and sees this quiet, determined girl as someone who needs to be protected. Kel also befriends a flock of sparrows that, made more intelligent by proximity to Daine, are eventually able to develop a system of signals with which to tell Kel and her allies about things they've scouted. Another character makes the half-joke that animals in Corus are getting so strange that he expects dogs will start running courts of law soon. | |

In Littlest Pet Shop (2012), Blythe Baxter, for reasons that no-one is really sure of, not even the animals, can understand and talk to animals after entering the pet shop for the first time. Though they assume it was due to hitting her head while inside a falling dumbwaiter. She keeps it a secret in fear of being called "weird". Though interestingly, the animals are almost always doing human activities, such as playing cards, performing magic tricks, and reading books, yet none of the other human cast seems to take notice and assumes they're just average non-sentient animals. The final season reveals that Blythe's late mother also had the ability to talk to animals, which she got from her, and her father knew the whole time. | |

In Dolphin Island, researchers work to decipher dolphin language, and later the related but distinct language spoken by orcas. Professor Kazan has learned to say several common phrases in Dolphin, although he admits his accent is so poor that only dolphins who know him well can understand him. Some dolphins have also been taught to understand and speak English. Professor Kazan eventually makes waterproof communication devices with buttons humans can press to issue simple commands to the dolphins. | |

In Persona 3, Aigis can understand the thoughts of the team dog Koromaru. This leads to Kormaru having input in the team's discussions. She's kind of a subversion though: While she can translate what he's thinking, she cannot actually talk to him because "canines do not have their own language." Justified in that Koromaru is at least smart and self-aware enough to use a persona and fight shadows. Less justified with the other animals Aigis (or her predecessors) interacted with. | |

Persona 5: Morgana, a mysterious shapeshifting cat, can be heard speaking perfect Japanese by Persona users (i.e. the player party and anyone else who's been in the game's Adventure Friendly Mental World long enough to at least start thinking "Where the hell am I?"). Everyone else just hears a cat meowing. This becomes a plot point when a certain character claims to have been awakened to a Persona recently even though he understood Morgana perfectly fine in June. | |

In Piers Anthony's Xanth novels, Dor has the power to communicate with inanimate objects. It is expressly stated that it is his magic that "animates" them. Almost all Xanth humans are born with a magical Talent, but Dor's is impressive enough that he is classed as a "Magician," and presumptive heir to the throne, which is always occupied by a Magician. The counterpoint to Dor is Grundy the Golem who can speak to any living thing (including plants). Unlike Dor, his talent is not considered Magician caliber due to the fact that anyone who tried hard enough could theoretically learn the language of any living thing. The trope is somewhat justified here due to the magic of Xanth making every living thing at least somewhat intelligent. In fact, at one point after the Sea Hag captures him, he even teaches a beetle a few sentences of dragon language so it can pass on a message for him. | |

Pokémon Adventures: Being blessed by the Viridian Forest, both Yellow and Lance can read the minds and hearts of Pokémon through telepathy. Also, Dr. Footprint can accurately tell what a Pokémon is thinking by simply looking at its footprints alone, like when a Staravia was about to drop him and when a Drapion wanted to be free of its Jerkass trainer. Interestingly enough, Adventure's version of N may be able to speak Pokémon, but not very fluently. He may like to give devastating Hannibal Lectures to people about why humans can never truly have relationships with Pokémon, but it is shown that his interpretations of a Pokémon's thoughts and feelings may not necessarily be correct. |

Marvel Universe: Ant-Man's cybernetic helmet lets him talk to ants. The Falcon from Captain America can talk to birds telepathically. Marvel Adventures: Parodied in a Spider-Man story in which Spider-Man forces a bank-robber to surrender by making hand gestures, announcing, "I'm summoning the spiders. I'm Spider-Man and you're making me mad. I'm summoning the spiders, they will come to my call. Hundreds of them, thousands, all of them at my command. [Beat] Because I'm SPIDER-MAN!" Sophia Sanduval, a.k.a. Chat, is a mutant with this as her power. Danielle Moonstar from New Mutants had a secondary mutation before secondary mutations were cool. Apart from (originally) manifesting people's worst fears holographically, she could communicate on a low level with animals; basically, furry creatures automatically liked her. Sub-bonus in that she soon joins the team with Rahne, a mutant who can shapeshift into a wolf, so when Rahne transforms, they can communicate over long distances. In Spider-Boy, Bailey is able to talk to spiders, even those from other worlds like Asgard, but only while manifesting his more freaky, spider-like traits. He doesn't like doing this because it means baring his Scary Teeth and the subsequent horrified looks he gets from onlookers, but Christina convinces him to do so when Thor is locked in battle with an alien spider to defuse the situation. Spider-Man: Parodied in the classic Lee-Ditko story "The Sinister Six"; at one point, J. Jonah Jameson starts shouting at a spider in his office, believing that Spider-Man can communicate with spiders the way Ant-Man communicates with ants. The rest of the Daily Bugle staff just think that the old man has finally lost it. Squirrel Girl from The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl has the ability to talk to squirrels, among other many vaguely defined talents. Oddly, the squirrels have the ability to talk with the reader. She tends to assume that other animal-themed superheroes have this ability as well — cue her trying to get Wolverine to try to talk to a wolverine, and even trying to get Tigra, Black Cat, Kitty Pryde, Hellcat etc. to talk to a cat. |

Sofia the First: Sofia is able to communicate with animals and other beastly creatures that normally do not speak English (such as pegasi), due to the magical power of her amulet. However, it doesn't work the other way around, like when she's turned into a cat in "When You Wish Upon a Well" and she loses her ability to talk to humans (but she can still talk to her animal friends). A couple of episodes revolve around her being unable to understand them after losing her Amulet. Like the rest of the other magical properties of her amulet, she keeps this a secret from everyone else. The backdoor pilot to Elena of Avalor has Sofia's family be surprised at the existence of Talking Animals in Avalor, which is host to talking jaquins and animal spirits. Cedric understands his crow companion, Wormwood, due to being a sorcerer. Likewise, other magical characters, such as the people of the Mystic Isles, understand animals as well. |

The Doctor Dolittle series of children's books, whose Doctor Dolittle learned how to speak with the animals from his talking parrot. It's an actual plot point that animals have different languages, and just because you can speak to dogs doesn't mean you can speak to, say, crayfish. Dolittle puts lot of effort into learning more languages. It is also established that any human who makes the effort could learn animal tongues. It's worth noting that it is not as simple as making animal sounds — the Doctor uses the tails of his jacket to mimic movements of the tail, he must make a lot of effort holding his breath when talking to underwater animals, etc. | |

Grizzly of the Seekers of Truth can communicate with animals to a degree, but animals generally don't have much to say, boiling down to "Hey, get off my branch!", "Come have sex with me!", or "Holy crap, what was that?". He usually uses this to get large, angry animals to leave hikers alone. (Of course, that's not to say that talking to animals doesn't occasionally come in very, very handy.) | |

Dungeons & Dragons In 3rd Edition, gnomes have the racial ability to speak to communicate with burrowing mammals through magic, albeit only for a minute a day. Fifth Edition changes this to only Forest Gnomes, but they can do it at will and it applies to any animal of small or smaller size, including non-burrowing animals. Both druids and rangers can learn a spell that lets them communicate with animals for a brief period. A member of the primeval prestige class can communicate with animals, although they're limited to members of the species they can the form of and of a few similar others. For instance, a primeval who can turn into a dire wolf can communicate with dire and regular wolves. Xvarts (aka svarts or xivorts), a race of blue-skinned little humanoids, can speak with bats and rats in some editions of the game. 4th Edition explicitly makes them Evil Counterparts of gnomes. Sea Elves can communicate with aquatic animals in most editions. Tritons can communicate simple ideas to sea creatures, but they lack the ability to understand anything that an animal tries to say to them. |

In the Young Wizards series, wizards can communicate with animals because the Speech, the Language of Magic, is sort of the proto-language which all things and creatures can understand. Plus, depending on a wizard's specialty, this can be taken further: Nita, who specializes in living things, can converse with microbes, while Kit, who specializes in inanimate objects, can commune with rocks and TV remote controls. | |

The Hawks and the Sparrows: In the story of the two friars, they actually learn the language of hawks and sparrows. They squawk noisily at the hawks, dialogue that's rendered onscreen in subtitles. Then it gets even sillier when Ciccilo figures out that sparrows communicate by hopping, followed by Ciccilo and Ninetto hopping around in a field in front of the sparrows while that is also rendered onscreen in subtitles. | |

Persona: In Persona 3, Aigis can understand the thoughts of the team dog Koromaru. This leads to Kormaru having input in the team's discussions. She's kind of a subversion though: While she can translate what he's thinking, she cannot actually talk to him because "canines do not have their own language." Justified in that Koromaru is at least smart and self-aware enough to use a persona and fight shadows. Less justified with the other animals Aigis (or her predecessors) interacted with. Persona 5: Morgana, a mysterious shapeshifting cat, can be heard speaking perfect Japanese by Persona users (i.e. the player party and anyone else who's been in the game's Adventure Friendly Mental World long enough to at least start thinking "Where the hell am I?"). Everyone else just hears a cat meowing. This becomes a plot point when a certain character claims to have been awakened to a Persona recently even though he understood Morgana perfectly fine in June. |

A Translation Convention is not used; conversations are shown taking place in gestures and animal noises, with Dolittle translating the important parts into English for the benefit of his human companions. The meat problem is mentioned: Dolittle explains that he is now a vegetarian because he doesn't like to make a habit of eating his friends, but he doesn't require the same discipline from his human friends. | |

The Immortals introduces the concept of Wild Magic into the Tortall Universe. Low level wild magic, what most people who have it are limited to, is basically just an aptitude for a particular species - Onua loves horses and has a good eye for them, their personalities, and what they're feeling. They're inclined to like her, and she has an easier time training them and convincing them to do things for her than she might otherwise, but it's not outside of the realm of non-magical possibility. Someone with more can silently call individual animals to them and convey basic ideas back and forth but not quite speak, as Stefan can with his horses. Daine's Wild Magic, on the other hand, is extremely strong and applies to all animals, and she's subject to considerable Power Incontinence as she learns to control her power. All animals in her vicinity are compelled to like and help her, and she inherently thinks of them as her friends. She can speak to them directly. Being around her explicitly does make them more intelligent, though it may fade to a degree when she's not present. Animals in this setting can speak to one another across species but rarely do unless under her influence. Early in the quartet Daine is willing to hunt and kill for meat, but as her powers grow and she starts to shapeshift she does develop Carnivore Confusion and eventually only "manages" chicken, mutton, and fish. Her father, who is a minor god of the hunt, is rather disappointed in her stopping her hunting. The next book series, Protector of the Small, deals with some of the repurcussions. With Stefan and Daine's help, Kel is able to strike a deal with her fractious gelding Peachblossom, allowing her to ride him and prevent him from being sent to pull carts or be killed; the horse insists on no spurs and sees this quiet, determined girl as someone who needs to be protected. Kel also befriends a flock of sparrows that, made more intelligent by proximity to Daine, are eventually able to develop a system of signals with which to tell Kel and her allies about things they've scouted. Another character makes the half-joke that animals in Corus are getting so strange that he expects dogs will start running courts of law soon. |

In the The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius episode "Raise the Oozy Scab", Jimmy has a device that allows him to speak to fish, which he hopes to use to ask for directions to a sunken treasure. It fails, as the fish just want to talk gossip. Later, when the sub is attacked by a giant squid, Jimmy modifies the device to be able to speak squid and convince it to let them go. | |

In the Real Mermaids series, Mermish speech is on the same frequency as dolphin language. Dolphins find the sound highly unpleasant and avoid mer pods whenever possible. But in Real Mermaids Don't Sell Seashells, Jade discovers that because of her human ancestry, dolphins can tolerate her mer voice and are even willing to talk to her. Their language turns out to be mostly mutually intelligible with Mermish. | |

One Piece: Not only is Chopper able to talk to just reindeer, he can talk to other animals as well. Although he is a reindeer himself, he is qualified because he had eaten a devil's fruit which allows him to become semi human. The Filler character Apis has this as power from a devil fruit. Mermaids can naturally talk to fish, and Jimbei also displays this ability (remarked to be unusual for a fishman). There is the Mermaid Princess Shirahoshi who can talk to sea kings, which give her the ability to sink island. We learned later that she's the current form of Poseidon, one of the three ancient weapons feared by the World Government. |

Pokémon: N from Pokémon Black and White can communicate with Pokémon. He came to have this power when his father abandoned him with injured Pokémon. Dr. Footprint debuted in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, where he tells you what your Pokémon is thinking based on its footprints. Even if they don't have feet. A little girl in the Battle Frontier in Pokémon Emerald could translate Pokémon dialogue directly to help you find out their happiness level, though she put it into little kid terms (i.e. using the word "ouchies" for injuries and wounds). |

The DCU: Buddy Baker, a.k.a. Animal Man, can communicate with whatever animal species he's borrowing abilities from. Aquaman telepathically commands all aquatic life. Doesn't ask, telepathically commands. (Depending on the Writer; during Aquaman (1994), it was a plot point that he did have to ask.) Aqualad had the command ability at one point, lost it, then regained it (or so he thought), only to find out he no longer commanded them; he had to ask them nicely to help out instead. Golden Age Black Canary could use her sonic powers to hypnotically control birds. The modern version can still do this to an extent, but instead of controlling or communicating, she can just summon birds, similar to Batman's ultrasonic bat-signal in Batman: Year One. Plant elementals (including Black Orchid and Swamp Thing) can communicate with animals that are a large part of the forest's ecosystem. The Horsewoman in Demon Knights can communicate with horses through a force in the blood that binds all animals together (i.e., the Red). Detective Chimp actually gained the power to talk to all animals (along with significantly slowed aging) from the fountain of youth. He mostly communicates with humans, though. Hawkman can talk to birds. Given the kind of stick Aquaman's been given though, he keeps quiet about it these days. Unlike Aquaman, he doesn't command them, but asks them to spy on anything suspicious and report back to Hawkman. Starfire has the ability to learn any language through a kiss. In Starfire (2015), she uses this power to communicate with a dolphin at an aquarium. She literally presses her lips against its beak. Before anyone gets their undies in a bind, please note that dolphins are intelligent. Supergirl (2011): Silver Banshee can speak any verbal language, which she demonstrates to Supergirl by talking to doves. Talking to animals is one of the lesser-known powers of Wonder Woman, though this is sometimes just written as her being a Friend to All Living Things and is usually a low-level psychic power. This power is back as of Wonder Woman (Rebirth), though because animals don't really have the capacity for big concepts and mostly think about food, there's really not much conversation to be had. The villain Purrsia from Wonder Woman and the Star Riders can communicate with animals, mostly doing so to order her magic cat Panthera. There is no indication that Panthera is any more intelligent than a normal cat; she can just tell what her owner wants her to do in a simple sense. |

The Bible: King Solomon allegedly had this ability, though some interpretations suggest that he just knew a lot about animal behavior and could figure out details about his environment not evident to humans by paying attention to them. Islam is a little more explicit about Solomon being literally able to talk to animals, what with (most famously) the hoopoe telling him the Queen of Sheba was coming and Solomon being ready to receive her early. (In Islam, Solomon is considered a prophet, and every prophet has a miracle; for Solomon, his was talking to animals.) | |

Krile from Final Fantasy V is fluent in moogle and speaks some chocobo, although these two creatures are more intelligent than regular animals. One Pixie quest in Final Fantasy XIV references the Final Fantasy II situation above by having the Warrior of Darkness communicate with beavers, although this is due to the Echo providing perfect understanding of every language. |

Maddy's Dolphin: In Atlantis, humans and dolphins could all talk to each other. After the city was destroyed by a volcano and the resulting tidal wave, the survivors interbred with ordinary humans and dolphins, and the gift of interspecies communication was lost to most of them. Today only a small number of beings have it, including the human Maddy and her dolphin Indigo. This means that if a dolphin other than Indigo wants to say something to Maddy's brother CJ, first the dolphin has to say it to Indigo, and then Indigo has to translate to Maddy, and then Maddy has to translate to CJ. | |

In Spider-Boy, Bailey is able to talk to spiders, even those from other worlds like Asgard, but only while manifesting his more freaky, spider-like traits. He doesn't like doing this because it means baring his Scary Teeth and the subsequent horrified looks he gets from onlookers, but Christina convinces him to do so when Thor is locked in battle with an alien spider to defuse the situation. | |

Jonah Jameson starts shouting at a spider in his office, believing that Spider-Man can communicate with spiders the way Ant-Man communicates with ants.

In Safe Havens children are able to communicate with their pets. As they grow up, though, most of them start to lose that ability (as seen with Jenny). Only those who retain some aspect of their childhood, like Samantha did, manage to keep the ability to talk to animals into adulthood. It's noted that many of those that do go on to become veterinarians. | |

Weasley Girl introduces a magical charm that gives you the ability to talk to any animal of your choice; the Animaloqui or Animal Talk Charm. The charm's usefulness is limited by the fact that while under the charm you can only talk to that animal and lose the ability to talk human language. Not to mention, unless you know non-verbal magic it becomes difficult to cast any other spells since you're incapable of speaking the incantation properly. | |

Shiro Akebono (Battle Kenya) in the Super Sentai series, Battle Fever J is a wild child that can talk to animals. Later on, another Shiro (Red One) is also able to talk to animals as part of his power. Kakeru Shishi/Gao Red from Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger can talk to animals as well as being an actual vetenarian. He tried to have a similar talk to Orgs... which failed and shocked him. His Power Rangers Wild Force counterpart Cole can also do this (Which is slightly more justified by the fact he was raised in the jungle.) |

Looney Tunes: Rabbits Run may (or may not) provide an example of a Funny Animal communicating with non-anthro animals. When Lola Bunny is stuck in the ocean with Bugs Bunny, Lola says she can "speak dolphin" and asks them to send "a nice yacht, a big one, with a Jacuzzi" to save them. Mac and Tosh's yacht immediately appears. However, it's a bit of an Ambiguous Situation since the only "dolphins" we see are actually sharks. | |

Grace, and by extension the other chimeras, in El Goonish Shive can talk to animals (squirrels at least). At one point, Tedd used her as a negotiator with the squirrels on his lawn. Raven later has Grace talk to his cat as a test of her claimed abilities, then brings her along to try to work out a peaceful resolution with an enchanted, super-sized feral pig. The pig can understand her just fine, but it still doesn't work out. | |

In one episode of the original Astro Boy, a naturalist develops a machine that can control animals using ultrasonic waves to affect their brains. He uses it in an attempt to stop a land developer from destroying a forest, first by attempting to assassinate the construction company's executives & their families with things like attack dogs & raging bulls, & when that fails, using hordes of every animal imaginable to overrun the city, before he is killed by the title character (don't feel too bad, he was about to throw a bomb into a room full of hostages). In later versions of the series, Astro's little sister, Uran has the ability to communicate with animals, presumably based on the same technology, which she uses at one point to convince fellow Tezuka manga star Leo/Kimba the White Lion not to eat a terrified schoolboy. | |

Danielle Moonstar from New Mutants had a secondary mutation before secondary mutations were cool. Apart from (originally) manifesting people's worst fears holographically, she could communicate on a low level with animals; basically, furry creatures automatically liked her. Sub-bonus in that she soon joins the team with Rahne, a mutant who can shapeshift into a wolf, so when Rahne transforms, they can communicate over long distances. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Fluttershy is able to talk to the animals she takes care of (though some scenes suggest that animals just naturally understand pony-speak, the same way Snoopy and Garfield understand humans) and can interpret the sounds they make as well. In "The Cutie Map", when the heroes are imprisoned and their powers taken away, Fluttershy tries to ask a nearby bird for help, but it doesn't respond to her and she cannot understand its speech, meaning that her ability is magical in nature. Note that while she can talk to and understand animals, she does not control them and most of the animals she interacts with are simply nice enough to listen to her. In "A Health of Information", royal jelly from a special beehive is needed to cure Zecora's illness. Fluttershy tries to explain her circumstances and politely ask for the royal jelly, but the bees don't care and attack her anyway, and she's forced to find another way to get it. Also doubles as an Actor Allusion in "Hurricane Fluttershy", when Twilight Sparkle, voiced by Tara Strong (the voice actor for Bubbles), is chattered at by a squirrel, to which her response is "Do I look like I speak squirrel?" Iron Will can understand what his goats say. |

The Doctor in Doctor Who speaks all languages, including those of animals. He talked to a cow in one comic, and convinced a cat to investigate a strange room for him in "The Lodger", as no one would notice it and he could understand its meows. There's also a Running Gag in which the Doctor speaks baby...and no one believes him. He speaks Horse as well, and stands up for a transgender horse in the Old West. He's never been shown to get any useful or verifiable information this way, so this may just be Confusion Fu. |

Sofia is able to communicate with animals and other beastly creatures that normally do not speak English (such as pegasi), due to the magical power of her amulet. However, it doesn't work the other way around, like when she's turned into a cat in "When You Wish Upon a Well" and she loses her ability to talk to humans (but she can still talk to her animal friends). A couple of episodes revolve around her being unable to understand them after losing her Amulet. Like the rest of the other magical properties of her amulet, she keeps this a secret from everyone else. The backdoor pilot to Elena of Avalor has Sofia's family be surprised at the existence of Talking Animals in Avalor, which is host to talking jaquins and animal spirits. | |

The animal fairies from Disney Fairies. Of these fairies, Fawn is especially gifted. Rosetta could also do this when she became an animal fairy for a while due to Zarina's Pixie Dust Alchemy swapping her talent with Fawn's and giving her talent to Iridessa. | |

King's Quest: In the third game, a certain spell Alexander can cast allows him to understand animals, though not to actually speak back to them. In King's Quest V, the wizard Crispin gives Graham a piece of magical white snake to eat, which allows him to communicate with the animals he comes across. Less understandable is how said animals know that he'll understand them. |

Draconis Memoria: Played with. The White can telepathically communicate with the spoiled, but it doesn't understand human languages, and the spoiled do not understand the "language" it speaks. It can, however, broadcast intent or show images, and have the spoiled tell it what words human use for those images. For example, it could identify one of its spoiled as a scholar, but didn't know the word "scholar", so it had to transmit a picture of a scholar and have the spoiled tell it the right word. | |

The tie-in book Island of Magical Creatures also confirms that Swift Wind can communicate not only with other horses, but is also fluent in hedgehog, God only knows how or why. Mermista can communicate with seagulls. Whether she can communicate with other sea life is unknown. She taught Sea Hawk how to talk to seagulls, though he is a little rusty. |

She is given the title "Yaana Mauna", or "Mother of the Forest", for this. In the sequel she claims that while it's rare, the trait is not unique, and says that she believes Rulutieh is also a Yaana Mauna. Rulutieh is very close with her giant bird Cocopo, but she says she's never been able to understand him to the extent that Aruruu can. | |

He can't translate Pokémon Speak word-for-word, but he's close enough to Pikachu and the others to get the gist of what they're saying. Valerie, the Gym Leader of Laverre City, can speak the languages of Fairy-type Pokémon. Whether or not she can do the same with others is unknown. "The Poké Spokesman" featured Simon, who seemed to have this ability, although the true extent is not really revealed. |

Pokémon Reset Bloodlines has "Bloodliners", humans born with Pokémon-related abilities. One variant particularly stands out: Type Heart Bloodliners are associated with a single specific element, and one of their abilities is being capable of talking to and understanding any Pokémon that is at least part the same type as them. Ash, meanwhile, is capable of speaking telepathically to any Pokémon he is close to. This is implied, although not confirmed, to be use of Aura, since he's a Lucario Species Bloodliner. |

Later, he sees the Firebird in a dream and awakens to find one of her stolen cherries on his windowsill; eating it grants him the ability to speak with all animals. The household dogs, cats, and horses aid him in avoiding his jerkass family by keeping him informed of goings-on, and animals he rescues on his journey return to help him in turn. | |

The Speak with Animals and Speak with Plants advantages in GURPS do exactly what they say with the caveat that some animals are barely sentient and most plants don't experience the world in a way remotely similar to us. With the Sapience Enhancement in the "Powers" supplement, however, one can carry on a conversation with an animal or plant as easily as they can with a human being. |

A little girl in the Battle Frontier in Pokémon Emerald could translate Pokémon dialogue directly to help you find out their happiness level, though she put it into little kid terms (i.e. using the word "ouchies" for injuries and wounds). | |

In Legends of Tomorrow, Nate can somehow perfectly understand Ray, after the latter has been turned into a pig by the Fairy Godmother. In a later episode, Constantine and Charlie likewise understand Zari, even though she is a cat thanks to the very same Fairy Godmother (and Constantine). | |

In Artemis Fowl it's stated that the Fairy gift of tongues extends at least to dogs (and it is implied to some other animals). Confirmed in The Time Paradox, where Holly can not only talk to all of the animals in a zoo, she can talk to all of them at once. | |

Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality actually does address the issues surrounding the Carnivore Confusion that may occur once communication with animals is introduced: Harry, after discovering that he can talk to snakes, becomes a vegetarian, from the fear that all animals may have the level of sapience that snakes seem to have when they are spoken to. | |

Luke from Professor Layton can talk to animals (though in the first game the translation merely makes him a Friend to All Living Things). In the second game, he gets the idea to talk with a group of cows (who moo while he makes rather polite conversation) to find out which two of them were swapped with one another. Layton, who has consistently been shown throughout the first game as the sensible one, wonders why he hadn't thought of that himself. | |

In the Dolphin Trilogy, the protagonist is raised by dolphins, who teach him Dolphinese. He never entirely masters the language because he can't hear the highest frequencies, but he becomes close to fluent. | |

In Apama - The Undiscovered Animal, this is part of the titular superhero's power set. It doesn't help him much, as while the animals' words are translated into English, the syntax usually of the You No Take Candle variety, and differs from animal to animal. | |

In the Dexter's Laboratory episode "Dexter's Lab: A Story", Dexter wants to speak with a dog, so he constructs a translator device and learns that the dog is saying "Hey! Hey! I'm a dog! Look! Look, it's a thing! Over here! A dog!" and so on. When the dog's owner turns up, his speech patterns are identical. | |

In Full Metal Panic!, apparently Sousuke has a great affinity to animals. Putting together numerous different canons (the Light Novels, manga, anime, etc.), it would appear that he can communicate and has some understanding when they speak. In the manga, there's the instance where he takes care of "Mousuke," a highly intelligent little mouse that is extremely attached to him. He's later shown having a conversation with Mousuke, which Kaname witnesses. She's very bewildered and unnerved that Sousuke is... talking to a mouse. In the novels, Sousuke is also shown to be able to communicate with Shiro ("Whitey"), a white tiger that he grew up with. He can understand Shiro's growls and even translate them to Kaname. And in the anime, while Sousuke is disguised as Bonta-kun, he's able to communicate with the disturbing Pony man (who only says "pony pony pony" while wearing his mask) which no one else seems to be able to understand. | |

Panda's owner, Mimi, in Hamtaro. In fact, she's the only human able to talk to the Ham-Hams and understand their speech. Though in some instances during Laura's diary entries, it seems almost as if Laura and Hamtaro can communicate telepathically, as sometimes Hamtaro mentally responds to what Laura is thinking as she writes her diary, and Hamtaro explicitly states that he can't read. | |
