The '''Mermaniac''' is a recurring monster that was introduced in ''[[Dragon Quest III]]''. it resembles its [[Merman|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 ''[[Dragon Quest V]]'' under the name of ''マーマンダイン'' and was inaccurately localized as the [[Merking]].
