Martians

from The War of the Worlds

The Martians are colossal, grotesque creatures, approximately four feet in diameter, with huge round head-like bodies dominated by large, dark, fixed eyes. They have no nostrils or visible ears, a V-shaped mouth, and sixteen slender, whip-like tentacles ('hands') arranged in two bunches. Their oily brown skin glistens like wet leather. They lack conventional digestive systems, feeding instead by injecting the fresh blood of other creatures directly into their veins. They are sexless, do not sleep, and lack a sense of fatigue, allowing them relentless activity. They primarily operate immense, mobile fighting-machines and handling-machines, lacking a native sense for the wheel. Biologically, they are completely unprepared for terrestrial bacteria, which proves their ultimate undoing.
