Mermaids are creatures that are said to have the "upper body of a female human and the tail of a fish". Mermaids have been used in many stories and myths, and have all generally appeared as a form of beauty in many. However, they're also said to be cunning and luring to humans. They are also known as Merfolk.

These are neat. There was a cool fake documentary about them. It was cool but kinda scary lol. DX

Don't think I've seen this documentary, but it does sound interesting. :O

Dang, realistic mermaids would be odd in appearance I bet. XD Half mammalian; yet, fish like scales all about. Dolphins and whales seem more fitting in this role. xD Still, a mermaid would be cool to see!

It's interesting but scared the crap out of me. XD I got a nightmare after mentioning it in my previous post. I think it was the way they looked. XD

Aww wow. XD Wouldn't be surprised as some depictions of mermaids are quite creepy!

Dang, they must have been quite some scary mermaids. While mermaids are commonly known for their beauty, they're also known for being great deceivers as well. With those tales of them tricking sailors for love - they can be quite scary as a whole! :o

Well, I must say, I've never found mermaids scary. Then again, I've never seen that documentary!

Also, what about mermen :P ?

I've seen better images of mermaids than that. :(

Also, I got a nightmare one time with them! Was a long time after I had seen that show!

Now, those aren't beautiful. I much prefer the traditional images of mermaids :P .

Those are just creepy indeed. Wouldn't ever want to have a dream with those "things" :0

Some things are better left in their traditional looks than trying to depict them as realistic as possible.
