As many drawings as I did for Warriors of the Red Planet, I still wish I'd drawn more! It is amazing how much art a roleplaying game book can gobble up. I was rereading Llana of Gothol and thinking about how the Apt was described. Since I didn't draw one for WotRP I sketched out this interpretation for fun.
So many of the creatures on Barsoom are essentially 6-legged centaur like designs.

The Apt is a terrible scourge of the frozen north. Running on six powerful legs, it can stand upright on four of them to tear with two massive claws before closing to bite with its tusked maw. Its multi-faceted eyes can see in pitch darkness, and can even see invisible creatures. Its rich fur, ranging from white to yellow, sometimes with black stripes, is highly prized and valuable. Their lairs are often stinking charnel pits, as they enjoy letting their prey rot a bit before feasting.
