*Several details concerning Umun'arath seem to hint at a connection with the [[Darkness]] and the [[Hive]], at least in terms of philosophy. Her claim that "The war is all there is" echoes a nearly-identical quote attributed to the Darkness, found both in one of the "Darkness" Grimoire Cards and in dialogue with [[Lakshmi-2]]. Furthermore, Umun'arath shares part of her name with [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath]], the Hive God of War. | *Several details concerning Umun'arath seem to hint at a connection with the [[Darkness]] and the [[Hive]], at least in terms of philosophy.

** This is confirmed in ''Beloved'', where Umun'arath reveals she is named after Xivu Arath, which the Cabal did not know was anything more than a myth at the time, in spite of having several loanwords from the Hive's language (Caiatl herself is named after a variation of the Hive word "aiat"; while aiat means effectively that there could not be any other way a situation turned out, "caiatl" means a situation has developed in a way other than how it needed to have). | |||
*Umun'arath and Caiatl are the only Cabal we've seen to have tusks. Whether Cabal grow tusks or if she just has them as a trophy is unknown as her side portrait does not show enough evidence for either. | *Umun'arath and Caiatl are the only Cabal we've seen to have tusks.

**In the [[Lore:Confessions|Confessions]] [[Lore]] book, the Psion Councillor [[Match]] makes mention of young female Cabal getting 'first tusks', which implies that tusks are exclusive to female Cabal, and can be shed like the antlers on a deer. | **In the [[Lore:Confessions|Confessions]] [[Lore]] book, the Psion Councillor [[Match]] makes mention of young female Cabal getting 'first tusks', which implies that tusks are exclusive to female Cabal, and can be shed like the antlers on a deer. | ||
