Squeveldork
The name of our Martian is Squeveldork. It is from Europa. Its life span is 1,000 centuries. It has adapted to the Mars landscape. It breathes carbon dioxide. It sucks dust in like a vacuum cleaner and turns the dust into carbon dioxide. It has metal teeth and it eats rocks. It can blend it with its surroundings like a chameleon and moves at the speed of light so that's why we can't find it. We only know about it. It can see in the dark because it has infravision, meaning it has infra red in its eyes. Anything it sees it keeps in its memory like a computer. Has scales made of adamantine, a new substance that makes heat into energy and protects it from the cold. It bathes in the lava of the Mt. Olympus volcano. It can fly by jumping really, really high and floating for miles. It lives underground. It burrows like an ant. There are 50 in existence so far. It is an Asexual creature. It can speak every language. It can see through people. It is very, very, very intelligent and can read peoples minds. Its species has technology that we haven't even dreamed of. It knows everything going on, on earth. It has been to the very end of the universe and back. It can control time. It has a regeneration cell in every organ in its body. They are very hard to kill, because they keep regenerating body parts. An automatic bullet proof scales cover the body of every species. Their only flaw is, that they have a tendency to be too friendly with the enemies. Therefore spelling their own doom.
