Scents
Scents began life on the person of Foul Ol' John, a pirate serving on the crew of Emeraldus. It became so rich and multidimensional that it eventually developed sentience and then finally intelligence. Somewhere along the line, Scents became interested in mathematics, and thence in science and philosophy and far surpassed John's intelligence. In fact, as John's intelligence dropped due to an overindulgence in Scumble, Scents' skyrocketed. He is now the third most intelligent Smell in all of Korav, second only to The Great Pong of the Ivy Halls and his royal excellency the Prince Dolap of Pu. However, Scents does not know about any other sentient smells at this point.
Scents has been experienced by trained Aromafers who smelt it, but were unable to determine who dealt it. Given that they spend a lifetime training to be olfactory connaisseurs, this is a testament to Scents richness and complexity.
When it came time for Scent to travel, he reproduced by fission. A portion of him remained behind (like, literally behind), and his second self joined with a new host. He is intelligent, curious, delightfully witty and sharp ... very sharp indeed.
