Tars Tarkas is the Jeddak of the Tharks, a warrior tribe of green men. When Tars befriends John Carter, he is amazed at the Earth Man’s incredible strength and leaping abilities. Tars gives Carter the Thark name Dotar Sojat, which translates to, "my right arms."
MANTLE: Like all Jeddaks on Barsoom, Tars wears a fur mantle of the White Ape – the most vicious creature on Mars and a symbol of strength.
TUSKS: Male Tharks are known to lock their giant tusks to establish dominance. As leader of his tribe, Tars has proven himself countless times.
