Martian Termites



The Martian Termites are the titular antagonists from the Woody Woodpecker Show episode Termites From Mars. They appear as tiny, green-skinned humanoids with saw-like mouths, bent on devouring everything on their path.

An astronomer spots a huge spaceship fleet leaving Mars and coming to Earth, calling the authorites who immediately alert the populace about the imminent Martian invasion. Woody is watching TV when the programs are interrupted by a panicked newscaster who alerts about the invasion, showing the Martian fleet approaching the forest where Woody's home is located and revealing they are actually termites. Woody locks himself but as he peeks outside one of the spaceships lands on his beak and a termite gets out of it, biting Woddy's beak. The termites procees to devour all the furniture on Woody's home, who tries to fight them in vain. One of the termites shoots Woody with a laser gun, slowing him down and reducing him to just his drawing contour. Woody's home is destroyed and the tree where it was falls down, but Woody sees one of the termites getting trapped after trying to eat an adhesive tape, so he gets the idea of using the tape to stop them. The idea works as Woody covers the entire forest on the tape and captures all termites. Woody then becomes president of a termite control company, selling the captured termites in the form of many household appliances such as can openers and mouse traps.
