The term "Barsoomians" refers to the inhabitants of the fictional planet Barsoom, created by author Edgar Rice Burroughs in his series of science fiction novels. Barsoom is essentially a representation of Mars, and its inhabitants include various humanoid species, most notably the Tharks and Red Martians. These beings are characterized by their unique physical traits, such as green skin for the Tharks and red skin for the Red Martians. Barsoomians are often depicted as having advanced technologies and complex societies, with a rich history of conflict and alliances. The stories explore themes of adventure, love, and heroism, primarily through the experiences of characters like John Carter, a human who finds himself on Barsoom and becomes embroiled in its struggles.
