- Aug 17, 2022, 04:57:21 PMIf I remember right, the Rage War books described them as smelling faintly like cinnamon if you got close enough to them, and for some reason I liked that idea.

- Aug 15, 2022, 06:03:26 PMI remember the AVP books saying they have a musky smell to them but their reptilian look makes me think they have an equivalent smell to a dirty turtle tank.

It was clearly having some sort of gas piped in there.
I meant Dutch being able to smell the Predator.

All that dripping and slime on them, mouth full of spit etc, that's bound to smell foul, right?
I bet Predators have a distinctive smell about them. Do the comics ever mention that?
Likewise, do Predators have a sense of smell? Jungle Hunter should have been able to smell Dutch. Days without a shower in the jungle? You don't need infrared to spot him.

Spoiler
the bear smells him. The Predator itself sniffed a cigar so it has a sense of smell too.

- Dec 31, 2021, 02:46:54 PMTwo aspects spring to mind with regards to a species' odour: camoflage and chemical-social signaling.
Going with the look of their reptilian skin; has anybody stuck their nose on a reptile? They don't really smell (unless they're furious and flinging something foul, or they've been sat in their own waste). For the purposes of both hunting and evading predators, it serves them to smell of their environment.
The case for any kind of odour strong enough for humans to detect, with our rubbish olfactory senses, would be social signalling. If they can't control this consciously, it wouldn't serve them well whilst hunting.
However, playing with rotting meat will absolutely ensure you're detected from a mile away. They do spend time dressing and polishing the kills they want to keep, which would take care of the rotting smell aspect.
Given that they're supposed to be an intelligent species, I would be disappointed if they hadn't thought of these issues.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the Predator's odor is described in Predator South Sea China and from what I remember reading, it's bad.
I think I remember something about that.
