a condition in which people are born with a lifelong inability to smell.

[—] zombie inherited this from his mother, who also couldn't smell. her grandmother and older brother have it, but her younger brother and sister can smell just fine. it's more of a hit or miss type of deal. nobody knows this unless they specifically as him to smell something. if you ask him if you smell good then there's a good chance he'll say yes even if he's wrong. it also affects his taste as well. if you were to blindfold him and give him and apple and onion, he wouldn't notice a difference. he can taste, but he can't taste. there is no such thing as flavor to him and doesn't find it to be an issue if someone brings it up. there's nothing to miss if he never had the chance to miss it at all. though, he might try to fool you considering he's listen to plenty of people describe how something tastes and can give you that answer, seemingly able to taste his food even though he can't.

[—] anyone can give zombie a good scare if they question him when it comes to answering how something smells. you could bring him to a location that reeks of dead animals and he wouldn't bat an eye at the smell. persistent questioning if the smell actually bothers him will cause zombie to visibly tense. it even gets worse if someone makes food and asks for his sole opinion, not basing it off of others. normally he can look at whatever he's eating and give an answer based off of response he's heard from people outside of the place he resides ("oh, it smulls eh'strem'lee sweet." "ah, the spiciness is evident in dey frum a whiff auh-lune." ), but if the individual is staring him down and is able to tell if he's lying will cause zombs to leave immediately.

[—] sometimes he likes to imagine what others can smell. it's not accurate to what others experience, but there are times where his mind creates a smell from what he's heard.
