The Frightened Ox in Waukeen's Rest doesn't have dialogue choices if Drow players have Animal Speaking active, instead it immediately attacks the player.

  • If a Drow player has Animal Speaking, the Frightened Ox immediately goes into combat without dialogue choices.
  • If a Drow player does not have Animal Speaking, the Animal Handling dialogue is properly used for the Frightened Ox.
  • If a non-Drow player has Animal Speaking, the Frightened Ox encounter plays out normally with dialogue choices.
  • If a non-Drow player does not have Animal Speaking, the Animal Handling dialogue is properly used for the Frightened Ox.

I suspect this is an intentional response, as Gobbos and Drow eventually raided Waukeen's Rest. If you are a Drow, then instead of dialogue options, there is only a short translated response with immediate counter-reaction. For the frightened ox, you as a Drow are simply a "red rag" at this point, which justifies the reaction that took place.

I don't think it's intentional because if the Ox is supposed to attack the Drow player due to the raid, it should then also attack the Drow player without Animal Speaking.

Animal Speaking and Animal Handling are just slightly different types of communication with animals, so both should have the same result.

True, if [Animal Handling] was "peacefully" for your Drow, then you're right.

Or animal handling is the one that's bugged.
