The mermaniac is a recurring monster that was introduced in Dragon Quest III.

It resembles its more common cousin in form and behaviour, with the main difference being that the mermaniac has the coloration of a river bass instead of an ocean dweller. Oddly, the monster appears in the Japanese version of V under the name of マーマンダイン and was inaccurately localized as the Merking.
