Mermaids

Creation of mermaids

Well you see, here’s the thing - we don’t even know if the mermaids are real, let alone how or why they’ve been created. We can, however, speculate on what may have happened. We already know that ancient people had to do whatever they could and adapt to survive the apocalypse. While most have retreated underground and into caves, where they evolved into mole and bat people, some could have tried their luck by escaping out to the sea.

If there were in fact the people who were forced to survive out in the sea with only limited land available, then it’s safe to assume they would have evolved into mermaids. If that’s the case, they would have to escape pretty far away from the bigger continents of the Old World and to smaller islands out in the sea. It is believed that they stayed there and still today live near some of the Floaty Islands.

Appearance

There is barely anything we actually know about mermaids and what they look like. The descriptions of them come mainly from the reports of travelers and adventurers, such as Samuel, who claimed to have encountered mermaids many times.

He, as well as many others, have described them as having mole person top half and fish tails for the bottom half. They are completely bald, as that would probably be more convenient for living in the water. They have pale skin - maybe even more pale than mole people, but their tails can be all sorts of different colors.

Other characteristics

Where do they live? What do they do? What do they eat? How do they- uh.. where do baby mermaids come from? We don’t know much about any of that. They most likely live in some sort of underwater towns, but these haven’t been discovered yet. On occasions they have been seen riding sea unicorns - aquatic beings resembling something like half unicorn, half fish. Visitors from some other worlds of our multiverse may be familiar with the astrological sign of capricorn - this is similar to what sea unicorns look like; but this is a story for another article.
