About this ancestry

Merfolk are graceful amphibious beings with sleek, scaled skin that glistens in hues of blue, green, or silver. Their eyes are large and reflective, adapted for sight both above and below the water’s surface. Fins extend from their arms, calves, and spine, aiding in swift aquatic movement, while webbed fingers and gills mark their dual nature.
