Martian (The War of the Worlds)

The Martians were a cephalopod-like race that evolved on the planet Mars. In the 1890s they set their sights on Earth, setting out on a genocidal war against the indigenous human population. The war came to an end after their race went extinct following exposure to Earth-born diseases.
