History

In the world of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Barsoomians are the native inhabitants of the planet Barsoom (known to Earthlings as Mars). The natives of Barsoom are divided between two distinctive races. The oppressive Tharks are large, green-skinned humanoids with dual abdomens, two sets of arms and large tusks that extend from their bottom jaw. Contrasting the Tharks are the red-skinned Barsoomians, who greatly resemble Earth humans, but with darker, reddish skin complexion.
