 Native Dreamlanders:
-Yellow Martians are almost completely extinct on Daylands Mars, still existing in small numbers in secret domed cities at the north pole of Mars.  Yellow Martians look very much like yellow-skinned, bearded humans, and claim a kinship to the [[Men of Leng]], with an origin myth that describes their exodus from Earth's [[Dreamlands]] into those of Mars, from which they dreamed their way back into the Daylands onto Mars itself.  Yellow Martians are generally genetically compatible with Earthly humans, [[Deep One]]s, [[Ghoul]]s, and other Earthly races, as well as the Barsoomian Martians, suggesting a common ancestry.  The Yellow Martians have probably always been more populous in the Martian Dreamland of Barsoom than they ever were on Dayland Mars, and after the death of Mars, this is likely to be especially true; they may well be the descendants of humans from Earth who colonized the Martian Dreamlands of [[Barsoom]] in ancient times, before migrating in small, isolated numbers to Daylands Mars.

-The Yellow Martians have traveled deep into the Dreamlands, and have seen many regions of both Dream and Nightmare unknown to Earthly Dreamers.  Yellow Martians are most commonly encountered by Earthly Dreamers as merchants, traders, pirates, raiders, and conquerors, and in addition to being closely related to the [[Men of Leng]], Yellow Martians bear many similarities to denizens of that Earthly Dreamland; many of their tribes even share faiths in similarly cruel and monstrous alien cults and serve equally cruel and monstrous alien masters, though Yellow Martians in general can and do exhibit any or all of the personality and social traits common to Earthly humans.

 Green Martians are 12-15 feet (3.7 to 4.6m) tall, are a nomadic, savage, warlike people with little concept of friendship or love, and a general tendency to delight in torture and conquest.  They have green skin, independently-moving eyes mounted on the sides of their heads, two arms and two legs, as well as two intermediary limbs that they can use as either arms or legs at will.  They wander between the ruins of dead Martian civilizations where they set up temporary dwellings, manufacture their own edged weapons, and raid other Martian civilizations for more advanced technology.
-Green Martians are said to have been the result of an ancient biological experiment which went awry, meant to produce a breed of intelligent Martians who could survive on the cold, desiccated, post-apocalyptic Mars.

 In the [[Barsoom|Martian Dreamlands]], "White" Martians are genetically compatible with [[Deep One]]s and other such races, and are nearly indistinguishable from Earthly humans, due either to a shared genetic ancestry or the influence of powerful Dreamers, with most White Martians exhibiting a wide range of skin, eye, and hair colours comparable to those of Earthly human races, and are not necessarily "white" in the usual sense, except for being generally lighter-skinned than their jet-black or crimson-red Martian cousins.  In fact, white Martians encountered in the [[Barsoom|Dreamlands]] are similar enough to Earthly humans that one could easily pass for the other with minimal disguising.
-The last remnants of the "White" Martians found on waking Mars are very different, and look considerably less like Earthly humans; these waking "White" Martians include the mummified remains of the [[Martian (Yorhi)|Yorhis]], the repulsive cannibal [[Martian (Thern)|Therns]], and the monstrous [[Martian (Kaldane)|Kaldanes]].

 According to some theories, "White" Martians are the descendants of a variant of humans engineered by [[Martian (Horned)|Horned Martians]] to more easily survive on Mars and Earth and act as vessels for a mass mind-transfer of Horned Martians in their last-ditch effort to escape the changing environment of dying Mars; it is unclear whether the Horned Martians succeeded in their mind transfer, but whatever the case, the bodies of the Horned Martians have long since gone extinct, and were succeeded on Mars by a dark age followed by the rise of the White Martians, until the drying seas and encroaching desert wastelands drove the White Martians too into extinction, with Red Martians in turn engineered to succeed the White Martians only to descend into their own savagery and extinction as Mars fell to waste, while on Earth the human civilizations of the [[Hyborian Age]] fell into chaos and entered a dark age from which Earth has only recently begun to recover.

	Having risen the highest in civilization among the humanoid races of Mars, the "White" Martians fell the furthest as their world died around them, with the frail, anemic, albino offshoot of White Martians known as the Therns being among the worst examples. The Therns gleefully descended into cannibalism, and maintain a position on Barsoom roughly equivalent to [[Tcho-Tcho]]s and [[Dero]]s on Earth. The manipulative Therns propagate a false Barsoomian religion among other residents of the Dreamland of Barsoom which encourages exhausted Barsoomians upon reaching the age of one thousand years to undertake a pilgrimage down the River Iss to "Paradise" into the Valley Dor, where the hapless pilgrims find instead a crater valley full of carnivorous "plant men", controlled by the Therns, who capture the pilgrims, tear them to shreds, and drink their blood, leaving the meat for Therns to consume. The Therns have also mastered a strange technology based upon a mysterious "ninth ray" that powers teleportation machines, weather control, weapons, telepathy and mind-control rays, and other devices.
