Mermen are a type of variant human. Most mermen in the world live in Eastern Sea. They can live underwater and breathe. They coined the name demon stone for marrow sucking stone after suffering from it, and some merman tribes in Eastern Sea history worshipped those stones as deities. ^{ch. 1297}

They have human bodies and fish tails. Scale colors vary: blue and red are common, white and black are very rare. Male and female are both called very beautiful and good looking. ^{ch. 1656}

A merman is a variant human that can breathe underwater naturally and live. Mermen are attached to rivers and water bodies and are most skilled at water path.

Among the mermen, an origin story places the first batch in Eastern Sea, where they built a small fishing village. A sea beast attack, a mermaid’s songs to a Sea God, and her sister finishing the third song are the origin told for the Sea God Ceremony and its saintess singing contest. ^{ch. 1665}
