The Old Martians

The malevolent Martians as encountered by humanity during the Invasion of 1898 are not the only intelligent race to inhabit their homeworld. Sharing their planet is the race of bipeds used by the Martians as a food source, slender and graceful creatures bearing a striking resemblance to humans. Their subservient status on Mars means that they are generally dressed in little more than rags, although what little remains of their records show Old Martians wearing graceful robes and headdresses.

In fact, these creatures are the last remnants of the original Martian race, indicative of their form before they modified their own physiology until their bodies became mere vessels for their intellects. These Old Martians are now little more than cattle and slave labour for their own creations, their blood going to feed the monstrous rulers of Mars and their toil building engines of war for their masters.
