Gormaanda's species

Gormaanda's species is an unnamed species of four-armed humanoids. Gormaanda, a member of this species, was a famed chef who recorded instructional cooking films that were widely available in the galaxy.

Biology
Members of Gormaanda's species are presumably omnivorous humanoids who mostly resemble Humans, with greyish-brown skin. Notably, they have four arms, with two in the same position as Human arms, with the other two, identical to their upper arms, positioned below their "normal" set of arms. Their lower arms also appear to be connected closer to their back rather than directly under their upper set of arms, as members of this species are able to easily hide their lower set of arms behind their back, thus appearing completely Human. Like Humans, members of this species can grow visibly elderly, sharing some traits with elderly Humans, such as grey hair and wrinkles, although their lifespan is unknown.

Culture and society
Little is known of the society of Gormaanda's species, but they appear to be active in the core worlds of the galaxy. Clothing among this species bears sleeves and gloves for all their arms, and white capes.

History
Prior to 22 BBY, a female member of this species, named Gormaanda, became a famed chef who traveled the galaxy's core worlds, writing a book on her travels and culinary experience. She had won three Orto Culinary Academy Awards for Engorgable Excellence by 22 BBY, being rated as a four-star chef, and authored a lifestyle column in HoloNet newsfeeds known as "Gormaanda's Culinary Corner", available throughout the Republic. During the Separatist Crisis and Clone Wars, the Republic suffered a decline in the availability of fresh ingredients for food, so Gormaanda wrote columns on cheap and easy-to-make modular dishes, such as Glowblue Noodles and Chav, which could be served to both omnivores and herbivores. Gormaanda also made recordings of how to prepare many dishes, which were distributed throughout the galaxy, and remained available and popular even during the Imperial era. In 1 ABY, a Wookiee named Mallatobuck watched one of Gormaanda's recordings on bantha surprise in preparation for a Life Day feast, but was frustrated by being unable to keep up with the speed of Gormaanda's four arms.
