A man-like creature with the tail of a fish instead of legs.

Merpeople are Template:L creatures that can be found in good aligned Template:Ls. They can be seen swimming in pods of three to six individuals.

Unlike previous versions, merperson parts are no more Template:L 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 a thing of the past, although there's nothing stopping you from committing merperson genocide just for the fun of it.
