They have learned how to "repurpose" the ancient abandoned cities for the Red Martians for their own culture and survival. They have learned how to survive in Mars' harsh wilderness environments.
While the Green Martians are not captains of industry, they have developed a much greater mastery of their environment than the Red Martians have. In contrast though, the Green Martians have some things in common with the Morlocks. (And we don't deny that this is a Green Martian proclivity as well!) It is likely these systems will gradually decline, which will leave the Red Martians in a very ecologically precarious situation. This decline is worsened by the fact that, the primary preoccupation of the Red Martians is the endless pursuit of war against both their own kind and other races. All of these ancient creations would be impossible for the Red Martian to build today. While it is true that the Red Martians maintain Mars' atmosphere factories, as well as the vast canals and agricultural systems required to maintain their cities, these systems are in reality the creations of very distant ancestors from long-gone civilizations. For this reason, they share many attributes with H.G.
To be sure, they are beautiful, civilized, sensuous, and decadent. It is the Red Martians who produce nothing new. In this practice, as in many others, the Green Martians practice a primitive form of communism. This is one of the many reasons that the Red Martians both fear and despise the Green Martians, viewing them as barbarians without the capacity for individualism, art, culture, or industry.īut take a closer look and you will see a deeper truth. For this reason, hordes often sequester their eggs within incubators in disguised locations, and then move on, checking back periodically to ensure the safety of their clutch of future offspring. Hatchlings are distributed to females to care for according to their ability. Green Martians reproduce by laying eggs, which then incubate for up to five years. A tribe will destroy an enemy horde's eggs with great relish whenever their rivals' incubators are discovered. Males are up to 15' tall, and females are usually in the 8-10' range. They have two antenna-like ears near the top of their heads. Their head is fearsome with two large tusks that curve upwards from their lower jaws.
The Green Martians have a double torso, with a total of four arms and two legs. They make their homes in the abandoned cities of long forgotten Red Martian kingdoms. Green Martian hordes roam the dry sea beds of the Red Planet, raiding other tribes as well as Red Martian settlements and cities. Prominent Green Martian tribes include the Tharks, Thurds, Torquas, and Worhoons. They assemble in great tribes which John Carter refers to as hordes, evoking the Mongols of his home world. Green Martians live in the desert areas of Barsoom.
