A note on Animal Transformations:: Contrary to all the Disney cartoons... Animals Do Not Speak. Yes, they communicate. Wether it be through body language or pheremones or whatever... science don't know for sure. SO, being the human(like) creatures that we are, even when in the form of the animal, we did not inherit the instincts of the creature, so we don't know how to communicate in the natural ways. Therefore, becoming a rat won't automatically allow you to "communicate" with other rats. Dragons are the only animal creatures considered to be sentient and who have a language of their own, so they verbally communicate in a way that human(like) creatures can comprehend. Likewise, changing into a human(like) form does not grant knowledge of that races language or culture. If you don't speak Dwarf, but you can become a Dwarf, you will be a Dwarf who can't speak it's own language... alittle suspicious... ;)
