Most Red Martians seem to have a personal code, but it's not universal. They are "normal" for Mars gravity (roughly 1/3 of Earth's) with standard ST for their height/weight on Mars. It seems to be more of an excuse to allow John Carter to learn the language quickly and to explain his ability to read minds (which martians can't do). This doesn't seem to be any improvement for the martians over verbal communication, though. All species of mars can make themselves understood telepathically. Much of this can be attributed to medical technology. The average lifespan seems to be about 1000 years old. I'm going for a feel similar to the novels and normalizing things for Mars since that's easier. A relic from Barsooms primeval past, the malagor combines features both avian and reptilian, much like the dinosaur ancestors of birds on earth. They are used as beasts of burden in the country surrounding the Tantolian Marshes. My goal here isn't realism, but playable stats. A giant, 'prehistoric' Martian bird with a 40-ft wingspread.

I am currently re-reading Edgar Rice Burroughs Mars series so I thought I would try to figure out some reasonable GURPS stats for it.
