== Description ==
Merrow are the model for the mythological idea of Mermaids and Mermen. However, the reality is nowhere near as pleasant as the beautiful stories. Merrow are slightly larger than a human, greenish or bluish in color, and with large fish-like heads. They have rows upon rows of sharp teeth in a round, always open mouth, and huge eyes with multiple tough layers of eyelids that keep them protected even when open.
== Location ==
Merrow are the occupants of a sub-Atlantic civilization off the coast of New England, and so they are mostly found either at sea or on the New England coast.
== Modus Operandi ==
Merrow are fiercely territorial and warlike, and live to either protect or expand their own lands. They use military tactics to do so, and in many cases show up, attack, and then disappear in strike style. They do understand their limitations, and so have learned how to change their appearance slightly to appear similar (but not perfectly so) to humans, and spend time infiltrating and occupying, obtaining footholds in human society to help them bring it to its knees.
== Neutralization ==
Being physical, Merrow may be destroyed physically.
== Story Seed ==
A town off the coast of Maine doesn’t seem to appear on any maps. An interested scholar makes a trip there and returns with stories of a near escape from strange humanoids with something slightly off about them.
