Mermaid

Mermaids are humanoid sea creatures who dwell below the water's surface and breathe underwater instead of on land. They are said to populate the tropical seas of the Far South, although there have been many tales of sailors saying they've seen mermaids in Greywater Gulf or even in the Iron Sea. They live in pods together of up to 2-9 at once and females tend to stick together while males tend to do the same with other males.

Many, infact, are not even aware of the existence of mermaids and believe they belong in the collection of myth and lore and believe them to shy beautiful women, seeking to find a man to love them.

Those who have seen them and experienced their trickey first hand, however, claim quite the opposite. Mermaids and merman are creatures of trickey and cunning. They are intelligent and almost magical, able to speak the tongues of humans only after touching them and often lure humans away into the dark waters to either eat them, as some legends say, or merely kill them as revenge for the hunting and injustices that have occurred against their species at the hands of humans.

In short, the relationship between mermaids and humans is rocky and at best, one would do to avoid them.
