Communicators are peculiars whose abilities allow them to communicate to flora, fauna, and the supernatural.[1]
Known Communicators[]
Animal Communicators[]
These peculiars can communicate with animals and insects. Some can speak their own human language and be understood, others use the animal's language, or the communication might be nonverbal. Some animal communicators are part animal themselves, though not every peculiar with animal features is an animal communicator.
- Hugh Apiston
- Abed Rahman
- Jolene Foy (Canadian dog-speaking peculiar)
- Lillian Link (speaks to her snake)
- Ymbrynes (as a side effect of turning into birds)
- Modern Librarians such as H, Jacob Portman, and Abraham Portman can be considered these if one considers modern hollowgasts to be animals.
- Unnamed peculiar shepherd, unnamed peculiars in Mongolia loop (sheep speaking)
- Snake-charmer girl
Mentalists[]
Mentalists can use their minds to communicate, and includes the abilities of prophecy and mind reading. Dreamworkers are a subclassification of mentalists, who are able to extract dreams or nightmares, make them physical, and do many things with them.
Diviners are considered by some ymbrynes to be mentalists, but divining is more of heightened body sensitivity rather than mind.
- Horace Somnusson
- Merrill (prophetic dreams when she napped on haystack)
- Bernard Bagstock
- Lavinia (dreamworker)
- Cyrus (dreamworker)
- Twin girls at the beach
- Bone Brothers
Plant Communicators[]
Only a small number of peculiars can speak to plants, and even smaller are those that can understand the replies.
- Sweedlepipe
- Fiona Frauenfeld (has been seen whispering to trees while manipulating the branches, mentioned by Jacob to be able to speak to them)
Spiritists[]
Spiritists communicate with the dead. They might use tools such as Ouija boards, the séance table, a telephone, or even write letters.
