Credits of the edit’s elements and style go to their respective owners. I only assembled them to make the edit.

Mermen are mythical male equivalents and counterparts of mermaids – legendary creatures who have the form of a male human from the waist up and are fish-like from the waist down, having scaly fish tails in place of legs. Mermaids appear in the folklore of many cultures worldwide, including the Near East, Europe, Africa and Asia. In contrast to mermaids, mermen were traditionally depicted as unattractive. However, some modern depictions show them as handsome. The actions and behaviour of mermen can vary wildly depending on the source and time period of the stories. They have been said to sink ships by summoning great storms, but also said to be wise teachers, according to earlier mythology. Mermen, just like mermaids, can lure and attract humans with their enchantingly beautiful, soft melodic and seductive siren-like singing voices and tones.
