Martian (The Record of Currupira)

Martians are a now-extinct species of sapient grey spiderish creatures which inhabited Mars circa 50,000 years ago, when they made a visit to Earth and brought back a Human specimen and artifacts.

Martians didn't have lips and would have been incapable of playing a musical pipe. Their language has been described as sounding like "a strange medley of whirrings, clicks, chirps, trills and modulated drones and buzzings". Despite differences in physical appearance, they had the same emotions as Humans.
