The Blob
Our Martian's name is The Blob. It is fluorescent green plasma goo. It gets its energy from the sun. The Blob gets its nutrients from the dry ice, and sucks in Carbon dioxide through microscopic holes in its skin, that's how it breathes. Every time it cries the "tear" gets lodged into the surface and a new blob oozes out of the hole where the tear had been. The Blob burrows under the surface to hid from the harsh storms. It also expands itself to move. For an example it moves like an inch worm. As it moves it leaves a trail of plasma behind. Every night the lost plasma reforms.
