Line 118:
* [[Werewolf: The Forsaken|Werewolves]], of course. Supernaturally good tracking abilities, Rituals that allow them to share an acquired scent between pack mates, and Gifts that allow them to smell things such as lies.
* ''[[Shadowrun]]'' adepts are people with magical potential who, instead of learning spells or dealing with spirits, use it to train their bodies to superhuman levels. There are, predictably, five options for buying the enhanced sense power.
* ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'' has quite a few monsters that are known for an excellent sense of smell. One good example is grimlocks. They are blind (having no actual eyes, in fact) living in dark caves and using their excellent senses of smell and hearing to hunt for prey.
** Without a doubt, however, troglodytes have the best sense of smell in the game. To them, scent is more important than sight. They identify everything and everyone by scent, and often smear blood, dirt, or other material on trees or stones to leave messages for other troglodytes. For example, a troglodyte could tell from one of the smears that a festival would be held at a village several miles to the north, possibly even the exact time and day and whether he was ''personally'' formally invited or not. Their sense of smell is ''that'' acute. Ironically, to most other races, troglodytes have a ''really'' bad stink.
