Line 39:
* Frederic Brown's novel ''Martians Go Home!'' features an invasion of little green men who attack Earth not with saucers or rayguns, but with an ability to appear anywhere, immunity to all harm, and absolutely no tact. They refer to all male humans as "Mac", and all female humans as "Toots". In one (obvious) scene, a Martian pops in on a pair of newlyweds, and refuses to leave until he observes human mating practices.
* The Evil Gollarks in ''[[Murderous Maths]]''. Notice we said evil.
* The natives of the eponymous satellite of Earth in ''[[The Wonderful Flight to the Mushroom Planet]]'' by Eleanor Cameron are faintly greenish in hue when they get all the necessary nutrients in their diet. The cover to the first edition of the book makes the green hue even more pronounced.
* Parodied in [[Diane Duane]]'s ''[[Star Trek]]'' novel, ''Spock's World''—a tabloid newspaper reports that Spock's mother, Amanda, has married a little green man. (As a Vulcan, Sarek has green blood and a slightly green complexion.) Amanda tells reporters at a press conference, "There is nothing little about my husband." Even Sarek cracks up once the context is fully explained.
