Your character can talk to animals and influence their actions. Most animals can't really speak, but communicate by verbal and nonverbal signals. This power cannot be used to control humans. Passive animals tend to be controlled easier than hostile ones. The Animal Handling skill helps this Power slightly.

Limit--One Animal Type Only: Your character can only affect one type of animal, such as birds, reptiles, or aquatic animals. Alternately, your character can effect only one animal, which can become his or her companion.
Stunt--Animal Summoning: Your character can conjure one or more types of animals, to a maximum of one per point of intensity.
Stunt--Animal Telepathy: Your character can read the minds of animals (such as they are), as if he or she had Telepathy at 1 intensity.
Stunt--Basal Ganglia Control: Your character can control the basic brain cells of any creature decended from an animal that the hero can control. Through sheer Willpower, the character can cut off the victim's ability to breathe or move.
Stunt--Memory Dredge: Your character can make a controlled animal recall anything it has sensed.
