Complementing their acute sense of smell was an equally sophisticated sense of taste. Their tongues were equipped with a dense network of taste buds, each highly sensitive to different chemical signatures. This heightened gustatory sense enabled them to sample and analyze their surroundings, distinguishing between safe and poisonous substances with precision. It also helped them in identifying nutrient-rich food, even when it was concealed within the rocky crevices or covered in the toxic dust that pervaded Gluttony.

These heightened senses worked in tandem to create a complex sensory map of their environment. The creatures could track scent trails through the winding tunnels and cavernous passages, guiding them to vital resources and away from danger. They also communicated through scent markers, leaving behind chemical signals to warn others of threats or to lead them to hidden caches of food.
