Bograns are tall lengthy dark skinned creatures with two to three pairs of arms and markings covering their body glowing based on where they're from. There are never two of the same Bogran with many of them preferring to achieve different goals. Each Bogran looks almost identical to other than their markings which display their lives.

For their size bograns are nearly as thin as humans, weighing only 120 to 180 pounds. Bograns don't tend to have genders as they simply cut off an arm to make a new Bogran.

Palace of mind
