Mermaid

Mermaids are a species of all-female aquatic Archenemy.

Description
Mermaids do not have fish tails like in most other settings; instead, they have extremely long hair that wraps around their legs to create the shape of a fish tail. This structure makes them powerful swimmers. However, the "tail" unravels if a mermaid loses consciousness.

Mermaids can produce various effects with their songs. They can produce sound waves destructive enough to crack reinforced glass. They can also control people, such as the crew of a ship. The latter ability is the reason why mermaids are classified as an Archenemy, as controlling humans is a way of "infecting" them.

Mermaids can also control rocks and cause them to suddenly jut up from their ground. For this reason, they are considered symbols of the rocks and reefs which cause shipwrecks.

According to legend, there are two types of mermaid: Western and Eastern. Only an example of the Western type has appeared so far, so it is unclear what Eastern mermaids are like or if they even exist. Western mermaids are said to have fish tails and sit on rocks, and to lure sailors into the ocean with their beautiful songs. Multiple theories exist as to why they do this: to eat humans, to obtain mates, or to eliminate an enemy.
