The Bane were split into two types, the children and the Bane Mother. The Bane children were large, green, vaguely cephalopod-like creatures. They had seven ambulatory tentacles, three on each side and another on their end. They had a large, single eye on their heads and rings of tentacles around their mouths. There were pads on the undersides of their seven tentacles which allowed them to walk across ceilings and floors, and a turtle-like shell on the back. The Bane children had the ability to read and modify the memories of humans. (TV: Invasion of the Bane)
