[3.5] Animal Companion - Speak Language

[TallerSpine]

Idr where it's stated atm, but iirc you may not understand language nor take speak language without at least 3 intelligence. An animal with 3 intelligence becomes a magical beast. An animal companion may not be a magical beast usually, and therefore may not take speak language. A paladin's special mount on the other hand, is a completely different problem.

That may be the case, I'll check around to see what I can find. So far, I've checked the Monster Manual, PHB, FAQ, and all four Rules of the Game articles on Animals. Any suggestions on where to look would be excellent.

The closest I found was page 7 of the Monster Manual. When describing intelligence, it says a creature with Int 3 or higher knows at least one language. But, I have not seen anything about teaching a language to an animal companion (either for or against it).
