The VOIDRUNNER'S CODEX is coming! Explore new worlds, fight oppressive empires, fend off fearsome aliens, and wield deadly psionics with this comprehensive boxed set expansion for 5E and A5E!
The target of both Charm Animal and Dominate Animal is "one animal", so it only works on creatures of the animal type, not other types, like magical beasts...
The real question in my mind is do they work on the Druid/Rangers animal companions who may or may not be animals depending on your interpretation of the conficting rules.
