merfolk

Merfolk are underwater humanoid creatures that have a connection with the water they reside in. Their bodies are made to survive the harsh environments, but they also have the ability to shift their appearance and survive on land, blending in apart from a few features that make them stand out. Like other sea creatures, merfolk get larger and creepier the further down they’re found. Merfolk typically have special abilities related to the water, which means they are hunted along with other supernatural creatures, but more commonly they are kept on display as decoration for others entertainment.
