"Those who have strong bond give off the scent of trust! But all I'm picking up from you two is the scent of fear, hatred and repulsion!"
― Tanjiro Kamado (Kimetsu no Yaiba)
"You can smell all that!? You have a gift."
― Emile (Ratatoulie)
"You can't fool THIS nose!"
― Wolverine (X-Men TV Series)

Also Called[]

  • Enhanced Smelling
  • Hyperosmia
  • Near/Nigh/Semi-Supernatural Smell
  • Superhuman Smell/Smelling/Sense of Smell

Applications[]

Levels[]

Associations[]

Limitations[]

  • Scent Shifting
  • Sensory Overload
  • Does not work when someone masks their scent.
  • Does not work on odorless materials.
  • Ability is nullified if the user's nostrils are clogged.
  • Hard to find someone if the user doesn't know their scent firsthand often requiring an object touched by the other person to get their scent.
  • Other scents from an area that has a large number of people such as a battlefield can make it harder to find a specific scent.
  • Inodorosity and Deodorization nullify this ability.
  • May be sensitive to stronger smells or foul odors.
    • Both smell and taste work in conjunction with each other so a user may become nauseous after smelling something and tasting it.
  • Much like Enhanced Taste, a user attempting to detect a poison or other dangerous substance by smell may expose themselves in the process and possibly die. This is especially true for airborne and aerosol hazards.
  • Stench Generation, Stink Breath and Stink Bomb Proficiency
