[Wells' War of the Worlds] Who were the humanoid creatures that the Martians used as food supply?

It is briefly mentioned in the original War of the Worlds that the Martians brought a food supply during their invasion, the narrator describes them as flimsy bipeds with large eyes, and bulbous heads. Are these creatures other Martians? It is stated at the end of the book that the Martians are apparently now focusing their efforts on the planet Venus - is that where these creatures are from?

They kinda sound like Greys, the iconic "big head, dark oval eyes" aliens.    Some who study and/or have had abduction experiences posit that the Greys are slaves or drones or meat-suits  for something else.    Might add "food source" to that list.
