The "speaks" flag denotes monsters with the ability to communicate. Only intelligent monsters can talk, and they may do so under certain circumstances:
- When first sighting a character
- During prolonged combat, at certain intervals
- When using a spell or a special ability
- When confused (mostly to utter gibberish!)
Most unique monsters can speak, including Gastronok, a giant slug who ate a wizard and became intelligent!
