- A man-like creature with the tail of a fish instead of legs.
Merpeople are fanciful creatures that can be found in good-aligned oceans. They can be seen swimming in pods of 3-6 individuals. They are somewhat larger than dwarves, but are also benign and will avoid confrontations, should a dwarf accidentally fall into their ocean. Male merpeople are known as mermen, while the females are known as mermaids.
Merpeople are intelligent, can speak and have the ability to equip items, but they do not produce their own equipment. Being learning creatures, they cannot be trained or butchered. Merpeople can only survive in water - if removed from it, they will air-drown.
Some dwarves like merpeople for their tails.

This article or section has been rated D for Dwarf. It may include witty humour, not-so-witty humour, bad humour, in-jokes, pop culture references, and references to the Bay12 forums. Don't believe everything you read, and if you miss some of the references, don't worry. It was inevitable. |
Merperson parts are no more valuable than those of domestic animals. This is a moot point, however, as merpeople are intelligent enough that dwarves refuse to butcher them, making merperson genocide in the name of profit absolutely useless; although, nothing is stopping you from committing merperson genocide just for the fun of it.
