Mahito isn't really a mermaid, he's really a deep sea abomination imitating a mermaid (His true form looks like his 'final' form 👀👀👀) Humans think they're studying him but he's studying humans. (His tail is the same color as his legs when he's neked but censored and he has the ability to shapeshift ofc)

'Mermaid' Mahito has a penchant for getting out of his tank and crawling around the grounds of his enclosure and actually has good manuvarbility outside of water, kind of like an alligator. Other mermaids don't stray away from water but ya boy is trying to EVOLVE! He's creepy and freaky as hell and he didn't get along well with anyone and is very agressive and menacing. The only person he likes is Lynn and he is very territorial of her (Often splashing/ spitting at/ hitting Junpei if he's too close to Lynn) 'Mermaid' Mahito won't eat unless Lynn feeds him and digs up his aquatic plants just so she'll spend more time with him. He doesn't let Lynn wear an oxygen tank and instead has his own way of giving her oxygen when she dives (Kisses!). On days Lynn is absent he gets very petulant and the only person brave enough to care for him when Lynn isn't there is Junpei and he only does it because Lynn will be sad that no one cared for Mahito while she was away. Of course Mahito is throwing his food on the wall, spitting bones and rocks at Junpei, scratching him, smacking him with his tail and nearly drowning him several times as well as digging up his plants after they've been replanted. (Junpei specializes in caring for jelly fish and has taken care of a gigantic jelly fish, Moon Dregs, since he was a ephyra. Lynn and Junpei also take care of penguins together and the penguins view them as their parents!) ANYWAY Mahito finds it very entertaining to torture and beat up Junpei. (Lynn assures Junpei Mahito is just playing!! uwu) Lynn always gives Mahito a piece of her sammich at lunchtime and stays after hours often to spend time with Mahito! Junpei is unnerved by their relationship. What in the Shape of Water, Creature of the Black Lagoon type nonsense is this??
