Mereide: Difference between revisions

The Mereide are an aquatic species known for their remarkable resemblance to humans. They inhabit various bodies of water, primarily oceans, but they also possess the unique ability to survive in fresh water and venture onto land for limited periods. However, their survival on land necessitates their proximity to water to prevent their gills from drying out.

When on land, Mereide will take on a terrestrial form which closely resemble humans, but their gills and distinctive ears serve as an outward sign of their aquatic origins. These ears exhibit slight variations in shape and size, often appearing more elongated or pointed than those of humans. Additionally, Mereide possess alluring scale patterns that shimmer with a mesmerizing iridescence. These intricate patterns, unique to each individual, add an ethereal beauty to their appearance and are considered a source of pride within Mereide culture. Underwater, they take on an aquatic form, which is considered their true appearance. Their fins emerge, enabling them to swim with remarkable agility and speed, their scales will cover their entire bodies and fin- or horn-like growths may appear on their heads.
