Potion of the Hound’s Nose
The Potion of the Hound’s Nose is a clear, odourless liquid that shimmers and glows softly within its glass container.1
The potion sharpens the drinker's sense of smell until they can detect the scent of shapechangers. They may be able to tell from the scent what kind of shapechanger it is, such as a werewolf or a doppelganger, and where it is.1
It also gives the drinker's nose a kind of tracking instinct: they can follow the scent of a particular shapechanger they have met before, even if it has since changed its form or its scent.1
