Not-so-little green men from Mars
Not-so-little green men from Mars
G is for Green Men
Also known as Tharks, The “Green Men” of Barsoom are tusked, 9-10 foot tall, four-armed creatures, who are tribal and primitive. Historically a once-great race but now nomadic and dispersed; their survival-of-the fittest beliefs often fuel their aggressive, combative behaviour. They use their tusks in in challenges to power, interlocking them confrontationally.
