The dominate animal spell allows the spellcaster to silently mentally influence and control a nearby animal. The caster can issue only basic commands, such as "fight" or "come here", and cannot share direct sensory input, but the creature might be capable of performing tasks through the caster's intelligence that it otherwise could not. The subject is not obligated to follow self-destructive commands, including being commanded to attack dramatically larger creatures than itself.
