The animals Kel adopts -- a flock of sparrows, an ornery horse, and a mutt named Jump -- are intelligent enough to act as scouts and fellow combatants in battle. This is {{deconstructed}} in the last book of her quartet, however, when Kel is managing a refugee camp and Daine reluctantly imbues them all with human-like intellect. Several of them die in the battles that ensue because they overrode their own instincts to flee, and Kel finds herself agreeing that it's no favor to the animals.
