Mermes
Pisces sapien
The Mermes is a species of intelligent humanoids. They have blue/purple scales. Their hands and feet have fins for efficient swimming, much like their armpits and hips. Their ears are sensitive fins, capable of hearing both on land and underwater, aswell as that their lungs have a high capacity, allowing for them to stay submerged for up to an hour. The eyes of Mermes have a second see-through eyelid for vision underwater. Aside from their fins and scales, they do not seem to alterate from human biology by much.
The mermes generally followers of Naga, believing that they are a direct spawn of her influence. Although they never actually created any underwater cities, they have been known to found most coastal cities as well as inhabit them. In modern day, they are sought after for underwater work, coast guard duties and as ship workers. This since water invigorates mermes rather than tire them.
