An on the fly ruling was made at our table which raised some interesting questions: Can you use Speak with Dead for a dead animal?
For context, the player who cast SwD has a ring with always-on Speak with Animals
How would you rule?
On the one hand, Speak with Animals works on "Beasts" not corpses, but on the other Speak with Dead does not specify whether a corpse has to be humanoid or intelligent, it only must "have a mouth, and ... knows only what it knew in life, including the languages it knew"
