Mermaids
Mermaids are half women, half fish. They can be found in the rivers, lakes and seas all across Felarya. They breath freely in or out of the water and can even move and land, albeit very clumsily. They are often extraordinarily beautiful with alluring voices. The average Felaryan mermaid tends to be around 100 feet in length, with the sea species being even longer.
Felaryan mermaids are naughty, voracious, and represent the main danger for swimmers and adventurers sailing the rivers of Felarya. They use their sweet voices and some illusion spells to charm and attract their prey. If they are in a hurry, they can use their powerful tail to sink a ship and then devour the crew falling in water. Some Felaryan mermaids also possess a very long and sticky tongue they can extend to catch a prey, much like a frog.
Mermaids and merfolks in general are very extroverted, but surprisingly they speak very little of their life underwater, making the whole race quite mysterious.

River Mermaids
A smaller species of mermaids. Their average length is between 70 and 90 feet. River mermaids have a more elastic tail and prefer the shallower fresh waters of river tributaries.
They're fast and very agile and often catch prey stuck in the mangroves and other river vegetation. They can easily jump out of the water and can even climb trees for a short distance. They are also a lot less clumsy on land than other merfolk and can use their powerful tail to bounce along the ground in rapid succession.
River Mermaids are found in most places, anywhere from frigged mountain streams to jungle rivers, to swampy estuaries at the mouth of a river. Their color varies greatly depending on their location.
