Mermaids

The Mermaid, also known as Merfolk, is a humanoid liminal race with the upper body of a human and the tail of a fish as well as fin-like ears. The evils of the race are called Mermen, and are notably just as attractive as the females. Living beneath the sea, mermaids are protected from the interference of the other land-based races and as such have been free to establish their own civilization beneath the oceans of the world. Blueberry is a very popular mermaid for her skill playing Yugioh! Respiratory system: Mermaids secrete a slippery slime to keep from drying out, as they can only function upon land if their gills remain adequately moist. These gills are located along the waist and are compatible with both fresh and salt water. In addition to gills, mermaids also have a humanoid respiratory system that allows vocalization and breathing through the mouth Speed: Mermaids are said to be able to reach speeds of 50 km/h (31 mph) while swimming. Mermaids need to stay moist even on dry land, as they are more prone to dehydration than land creatures. Mermaids on land usually get around in wheelchairs.

Eel Mermaids

Eel Mermaids (ウナギ系, Unagi-kei) are Mermaids with long lower bodies not too different from the lamia. Unlike most mermaids, they have no trouble living on land. This because they produce even more mucus than standard mermaids, although as a result, they have trouble wearing most clothing materials.

Freshwater Mermaid

Freshwater Mermaids (淡水種, Tansui-shu) are a subspecies of mermaids. Unlike standard mermaids, which reside in warm ocean waters, these mermaids regularly travel from rivers to oceans and back again. These stoic mermaids never give up their journey regardless of any fierce rapids or waterfalls that may stand in their way. (in the city, they live in the aquarium)

Siren

Sirens are a subspecies of mermaids. They originate from Greek mythology and are widely known for being capable of singing songs so enchanting, that it could lure sailors to their deaths. They are also notable for having two fish tails as opposed to one.

Lamia

The Lamia (not siren or mermaid) are a reptilian liminal race with the upper body of a beautiful human woman, pointy ears and the tail of a snake that starts around the hips. A mono-sexed (female) demi-human race, Lamias are predatory carnivores that form tribal villages on the outskirts of desert oases, their serpentine tails are powerful enough to bend steel. They took human men as husbands because their species doesn't have men. They are very sexual. They are cousins of mermaids, and while they don't live in water, they visit them. The ones that do live with the mermaids are the Melusines (メリュジーヌ, Meryujīnu). Those are a Lamia subspecies with dragon wings on their backs. Due to this, they share characteristics with Dragonnewts. Excellent swimmers, in contrast to other Lamia subspecies, who share traits with terrestrial snakes, Melusines are more similar to sea snakes and prefer to live by the shore near oceans, lakes or rivers, as the sole aquatic lamia species.
