Bande Dhaben Vs. Umbran

The Bande Dhaben come from Engine 3 Sehe Gandia, a completely separate world from this one. Any animal found on Earth and even some mythological creatures may have a Bande analog, meaning there is incredible diversity amongst Bande. They are mostly bipedal, typically having two arms and two legs even when their antecedent species had more. Arthropod-derived Bande seem to be the most common outlier in this regard, but within Bande from the same species, there can be variation even among siblings. Differences in size are also reduced, as the smallest Bande are about three to four feet tall while the largest are about eight feet tall.

Umbran are a centauroid species possessing six arms, four of which serve as legs but possess four-fingered hands. They have prominent bony protrusions on their fingertips and chest, and a naturally occurring bony plate called a mask that serves as a face. Masks rest on exposed condyles near the lower jaw and act as the upper jaw. Masks can be removed without physical damage; they are essentially connected by a ball and socket joint. 
Umbrans require a mask to chew and see, however this doesn’t need to be their original mask as long as it has been appropriately tempered.

Umbran bodies are composed of epithelial, muscle, and bone tissues serving as an envelope around a central cavity that enjoins their two torsos. What appears to be flame in their central cavity at first glance is not the result of a chemical reaction, but several decentralized photonuclear ones that produce energy.
