A whale shark mermaid and her entourage of remora. These small mermaids form a symbiotic relationship with their large host, helping take care of her physical needs, like hygiene, organization, and navigation, and in return she provides travel and food. The arrangement is not just practical, but social as well. The "crew" of remora form close relationships with each other and with their host, some traveling together for years or even their entire lives. In a wide ocean where size peers are few and far between, this group operates as a complete and loving family unit.
