Iron spiders are the main war machines of the martians. They have multiple metallic tentacles under them known as “death ribbons” used for shredding apart infantry and even damaging armored vehicles in battle. The Lice are smaller, non combat units meant for construction, digging and gathering of resources. They come out at night to take bullets, shells etc or whatever metal they find on the battlefield to use in the martian’s machines along with grinding dead bodies into the dirt. They, like the iron spiders, are completely autonomous.
