Merfolk

Merfolk are aquatic humanoids who are half human and half fish. Males are called mermen, while females are called mermaids. A merfolk person has the upper body, arms, and head of a fair-featured human from the waist up and instead of legs they have a fish-like tail from the hips down. Their humanoid features are fey-like, more similar to elves than humans.
Merfolk live in cities and isolated settlements within shallow seas and coral reefs, where protection and food were abundant. They train aquatic animals to serve as their guardians, similar to the way humans train dogs and horses. Merfolk's only natural enemy is the sahuagin.
