Description
Dwarfs from from Le Docteur Oméga (1906) by Arnould Galopin.Rough translation:
"But we had not gone a hundred yards when we heard a confused murmur quite similar to what would be the wind blowing on the reeds.
And suddenly cries arose … sad and monotonous cries, like those toads.
We stopped with surprise, and looked around us.
Horror! … We were surrounded by a crowd of gnomes who approached with caution, in an apparent attempt to surround us and put us wrong …
They were the inhabitants of Mars! …
- Oh … They have funny heads! cried Fred.
Indeed, the Martians were not exactly what one might call fine specimens of the human race.
They were no more than fifty centimeters high and their bodies were supported by small slender legs, shaped like the legs of locusts …
Their huge, round ball-like head … Two convex and circled red pale green eyes lit up their face …
Instead of a nose they had a small curved trunk and lipless mouth had the shape of a rhombus.
Instead of arms they had long tentacles writhed horribly with little whistles.
Their bodies seemed transparent and shone like a bladder coated with grease.
Their walking imitated the noise of the beetles with Elytra.
These foul beings inspired me not with fear, but rather a deep sense of disgust … I dreaded their contact as fears that a spider or a rat …"
"I even noticed a strange phenomenon often observed in chameleons, he completely changed color.
His head was now saffron and his body olive."
