A sea hermit can speak Aquan, Common... ("The sea hermit can speak several languages, including the common tongue. It can also communicate with most intelligent sea-dwelling creatures.")

Aquan and Common should cover it. It can always steal languages via the Speak Languages skill, too.

"Alternate Form (Su): A sea hermit can assume any form of (Large size or smaller?) as a standard action"

I can't remember why we limited it to Large...I'm fine with it, though.

 

[BOZ]
