Whilst painting my Green Martians I found a pack of Black Hat's Martian Wolves. Whilst not entirely book-accurate in terms of looks they are are obviously designed to be the equivalent of the Barsoomian Calot. Green Martians domesticated these beasts as guard-dogs, and it's not unreasonable that they could accompany an army. So today I painted them up as two elements of beasts, giving both of my Green Martian armies the option of some extra bad going capability.

Calots go two better than the thoats in that they have ten legs rather than eight. More legs make you go faster.
(With hindsight I should have done one element with a handler instead of the third calot - I have some spare foot figures somewhere) and added the spare calot to John Carter's element as his faithful companion Woola.)
