The '''Merman''' is a monster in the series.
 
==Characteristics==
Mermen are monstrous fishmen known for menacing both seafaring adventurers and fishing villages alike. They have blue scales and mossy green fins on their heads and tails, along with the webs between their claws. Though just as sentient as humans are, [[Aquatic family|mermen]] are ruthless savages who shred their sea-faring prey to bits with their razor sharp claws. They has a tendency to make their opponents more vulnerable by casting '''[[Sap]]''' and/or '''[[Kasap]]'''.
