Merfolk

Merfolk

Origin: Across the globe in various bodies of water.

Lifespan: Averagely between 50-70 years.

Allegiance: None but sympathise with the Guardians.

General Appearance: Merfolk have heads, torsos and arms similar to humans but their lower half resembles the tail of a fish. Hair, skin and scale colouring are all dependent on genetics. When laid out they are taller than humans because of their fin.

Characteristics: They are a serene race of water dwellers who can also breathe air. Having been in folklore for millennia, they are a well known race but rarely seen. Throughout history they have kept out of human conflicts although have spats between their own kind, usually due to territorial disputes. Due to the war, they remain hidden in the water but are not unresponsive to communications and help the Guardians if they need it.

Strengths: In the water they are agile and very quick.

Weaknesses: They are almost useless on land without suitable means to move.
