Name: Zoolingualism

User(s): None

Type: Psychic

Purpose: Utility

Short description: The user is able to understand animal speech, and be understood by animals, even those untrained.

Visual effect: Glowing aural tattoos focused on his face, imitating whatever animal he is focusing on. In the case of multiple types of animals, it imitates all of them at once, making strange hybrids.

Range: Hearing

General limitations: Does not control the animal’s actions or thoughts, just makes them understand him as though he was speaking their language. Complex concepts cannot be conveyed. Cannot communicate with Grimm.

Passive ability(s) (if any): Can understand the body language of animals

Active ability(s) (if any): He activates his semblance, allowing him to understand the spoken language of whatever animals he is focusing on, and allowing his own speech to be understood by them, even if they are not trained to recognise human speech.

Notes: Inspired by Mowgli from The Jungle Book, and his seeming ability to speak animal AND human.
