Mermaids

Mermaids are a species of mythical creature that are seen in Makolan Marima Islander, and other tropical legend. They are depicted as young, beautiful woman who have fish tails as legs and despite being mostly in tropical legend are seen across the world’s legends as far north as to Elsenord and as far south as to Taolim. Mermaids, in Makolan legend at least, breathe both air and water and when in water, obtain gills and when in land, obtain lungs. In Marima Islander legend, mermaids are seen as very sacred both culturally and religiously. Before Christian reign in the Marima Islands, they were worshipped and seen as deities, they were depicted as if they had more tails to be more powerful and some gained a tail every year they lived. 
== Legend ==
Mermaids can either be seen as beautiful, very attractive woman with the upper body of a human and the bottom half as a fish and use their enchanting voice to wed men or can be seen as gruesome alienlike creatures with sharp fangs and webbed feet who drag men into hurricanes. Marima Islanders see them as being insanely glorious and where they were depicted as living in large rock islands near where dolphins thrive, using their glorious, enchanting voices to attract men into marrying them. 
Evil mermaids are referred to as Sirens.
