| Description | A merman has a human body & a bass tail where the legs would be. Otherwise, they vary as much as humans. Their dorsal fins are spiny and their other fins are more rounded. Their scales tend to be green, olive, or black, with dark blotches along their flanks. |
| Procreation | Mermen mate with mermaids to create more of their own kind. With other merman-types, they follow the mother, usually. With non-mermen, they follow the mother, if possible. |
| Magic | 1/1,000,000 have soul magic. 1/1,000,000 have heart magic. Mind & body magic are possible, as is void or faith. |
| Special Powers | Like fish, mermen breathe through gills. They have innate senses that tell them about the tides & currents under the ocean. Their bodies react to pressure changes with magical efficiency. Mermen are a little slow. |
| Weaknesses | They cannot breathe out of water. Electricty hurts them worse than it would others, & they are sensitive to heat. |
| Culture | Music is a favorite passtime of the merpeople. They live much as humans do, in nations, empires, villages, cities, or on their own. They live at one with the oceans, working directly with the sea life & the currents. |
