* {{Martians}}: The three-legged BlueAndOrangeMorality-espousing Martians start off as a major part of the setting, the "natives" on a planet that is being colonized by humans from Earth. By the end of the novel, the leaders of the colonists have come to realize that the Martians could ''easily'' wipe out every human on Mars if the humans continue to annoy them, and are possibly ''millions'' of years more advanced than humans are.
