Mermaid

Mermaids are a mythical species of aquatic beings with the head, arms and torso of a woman and the tail of a fish.
==In the Mythos==
Dr. Makoto Yamada believes that stories about Mermaids were inspired by the Sea-dwellers, as he likens their ability to swap minds with humans to traditional tales of Mermaids stealing the souls of men with their kisses. (: "The Black Kiss")
Female Deep Ones have also been mistaken for Mermaids. (: "The Seal of R'lyeh")
In H. P. Lovecraft's Dreamlands, the Merfolk are hybrid creatures, the result of Deep Ones who found their way into the Dreamlands and mated with the native Gnorri. Like the Deep Ones themselves, the Merfolk are servants of Cthulhu.
