Alright, so my friends and I started a D&D 3.5 campaign, I made a druid, and chose a wolf as my familiar. I'm fairly unsatisfied the wolf is so... boring. I looked everywhere for feats or things to get it more intelligence so it could have more character. Understand things and participate, you know.
Someone told me it would be able to communicate with me since I was a wolf, I don't know how, since animals have no spoken language, and even if it could, it seems like all it would say with 2 intelligence is simple things, like "Hungry..." "Danger!" and other such simple things. Which isn't very interesting. I wanted to play the wolf as another character and have my druid, who is stuck as a wolf form a complex bond and such. But I don't think that's too possible. It would need more intelligence to understand complex things and have much understanding, right?
So I was looking for ways to get it more intelligence, and I only found some high-level/hard to obtain spells/items. Like the Wish spell, and like Headbands of Intellect, and Tomes of Clear Thought. Could a wolf even make use of a tome? Not to mention the rogue in the party thinks he could use an int tome more... Would a headband really be equip-able? Wishes are expensive... Is there anything else that can be done to increase an animal companion's intellect?
