Description

Horned Martians are possibly related to the Mi-Go. (fan theory)
The insect-like Horned Martians nearly destroyed Mars when through the use of their "black magic"; they accidentally opened a portal into "Hell" (actually a bizarre alternate dimension); they were barely able to repel the invading forces of Hell using an artifact they called a "Soul Cube"; in the ensuing chaos, they fled their dying world, and according to some theories mind-transferred to Earth into specially engineered proto-human bodies, in which the transferred minds of the Horned Martians would then "evolve" into modern, Earthly humans. (fan interpretation, based on the backstory of DOOM3)
A few bio-mechanical spacecraft and other machines, abandoned by the Horned Martians on Mars, in the Martian Dreamland of Barsoom, and on Earth and elsewhere over the ages, have gone mad in their neglect and isolation, and have evolved into active Dreamers, intelligent and skilled with psychic and magical powers of their own; their travels and presence are responsible for many mysterious accounts of UFO sightings on Earth and in many other worlds. (fan interpretation)
