Rapport with Insects

You can communicate simple ideas with insect-like beasts with an Intelligence of 3 or lower, such as spiders, beetles, wasps, scorpions, and centipedes. You can understand them in return, though this understanding is often limited to knowing the creature's current or most recent state, such as “hungry,” “content,” or “in danger.” Delver drow often keep such creatures as pets, mounts, or beasts of burden.
