Humans are capable of detecting twelve confirmed taste modalities.
Eleven of these are universal across humanity and have been documented for centuries.
One (Daloric) is exclusive to Hemera.

The Twelfth — Daloric
Daloric (pronounced dah-LOHR-ik) is the only known taste exclusive to Hemera.
It is not related to any of the previous eleven. It is not sweet, sour, salty, bitter, umami, fatty, starchy, metallic, kokumi, calcium-like, or watery.
Those who experience Daloric describe it as:
“like the memory of something that never happened”
“as if the air around me snapped into place”
It is not pleasant, but it is compelling.
It lingers for hours, returning as phantom flashes at the back of the tongue.
Origins and Exclusivity
This has led researchers to conclude that Daloric is a purely Hemeran phenomenon.

EYNIOBB scientists attempted to infuse Daloric into Bug Bars, hoping to enhance soldier performance or prestige.
The combination was briefly considered for use as a psychological warfare agent, but rejected due to its unpredictability and lasting neurological trauma.
Daloric is now formally listed as chemically incompatible with Bug Bar production.
Sadness remains the only flavor Bug Bars will accept without catastrophic mental collapse.
