Creature
Doppelganger
The Doppelganger is a shapechanger. Shapechangers can be known by their scent: the Potion of the Hound’s Nose sharpens the drinker's sense of smell until they can catch the scent of shapechangers, try to tell from it what kind of creature they face, a werewolf or a doppelganger for example, and find where it is. Once the drinker has met a particular shapechanger, they can follow its scent even after it has changed its form or shifted its smell.1
