Speak with Sea Creatures

You can communicate with any creatures of the sea, although the level of communication will vary based on the creature's intelligence.

Flexible Body

Your skeleton is made of flexible cartilage, allowing you to bend your body into different shapes and sizes. As a bonus action, you can fit into any space as small as 1x1 square foot. Every minute spent holding your body into shape you must make a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or risk being put back into your normal body size. If you are still in an enclosed space and fail this save, you risk taking damage as your body is crushed by the surrounding walls. Upon a failed roll, you must wait at least 1 minute before using this ability again.
