Whisper Dragon (Young, Spellcaster)

CREATURE 7

Whisper dragons are keen collectors of rumors and secrets who spend centuries honing their information networks and relationships. They generally do so not out of an intent to hold the information over others or to use for their own machinations, but simply because the process of learning and gathering information is fulfilling. Their hoards are sparse compared to those of other dragons, as they hold their true treasures—secrets—in their minds.

Telepathy 100 feet (aura, magical, mental)

A monster with telepathy can communicate mentally with any creatures within the listed radius, as long as they share a language. This doesn't give any special access to their thoughts, and communicates no more information than normal speech would.
