The ‘’’Mermaid’’’ is one of the most famous and common of the Fābulae. Despite being adapted for a fully Aquatic lifestyle, mermaids are capable of surviving on land, albeit most mermaids do so in a fairly awkward manner, being forced to flop, roll, or crawl in most cases in order to move around. 

Mermaids are primarily native to the Aquitaan and Magnumare seas, but the more adventurous variants have swum all over the world. Most, if not all, mermaids are loyal to the Drakon monarchs of [[Aquitinia]], though few do much to act on these loyalties. 

Mermaids come in a number of varieties. The most internationally well known forms are the shark forms, with the most common of these being the black and white tipped mermaids, though tiger sharks are also quite common. In freshwater environments catfish, sturgeon, and koi are the most famous forms of mermaids, though many other mermaids variants exist. 

Mermaids are sometimes mistaken as obligate carnivores, but are known to be capable of consuming grains. However, most mermaids subsist almost entirely or only on meat. Their near immunity to diseases and poison allows them to easily consume creatures such as jellyfish, while also being able to hide among large quantities of jellyfish if something threatens them. Unfortunately for Sea Turtles, mermaids both outcompete them for much of the same food and actively will consume them, the advanced hands of the mermaids allowing them to easily manipulate the turtles to negate the defensive advantage of those animals.
