What is the average lifespan of a mermaid? Given that they hatch from eggs, do they have a different "child" form?
Mermaids lifespan is slightly longer than that of the average human, they age slower and on average live to about 100.
They hatch looking like mermaids, however they are significantly smaller than human children. Merfolks' eggs are similar to pearls in size and appearance which means baby merfolk are no bigger than a pearl when they hatch. Baby merfolk also cannot change their tail to legs. This is a skill they will learn when they get older.
