Sirens are the common assumption when one thinks of ‘mermaids’. They present as human women, or as having human top halves and fishlike tails, to lure and devour their victims. However, assuming any fae and good or evil is outdated. Any fae, regardless of how cute, is dangerous but they have personalities as all things do.
Sirens live in more shallow waters, on the edges of abandoned or lightly populated islands in all areas and in all oceans. Sirens are not strictly salt water bound but are mostly found in coastal areas.
Sirens have been famously encountered for thousands of years and despite being watered down as cutesy mermaids, these are highly powerful fae with illusionary ability and high intelligence. They tend to stay in packs, and all sirens are “hermaphrodic”, and are able to lure not just men but all genders to a watery grave.
Some sirens, have taken favor to humans, as all fae they tend to like kind and unselfish humans. This is very rare to find in modern accounts because most fae blame all humans for poisoning the ocean and earth.
Merfolk can be any size, resemble many thousands of other types of fish found in sea, streams, rivers, lakes, etc. Merfolk is an umbrella term for specific sunsets of humanoid intelligent species in the waters of the world.
Some are predatory, some are herbivorous and joyful. Merfolk can range from as big as a whale, to as small as a seahorse. They are not always as humanoid and beautiful as sirens, who are seducers by nature. Merfolk don’t have a strict 50-50 rule like disney mermaids. They have gills, rarely have hair, and often have a smooth scaly skin. There are also deep sea merfolk, large and bioluminescent.
