Legendary Mermaid

Legendary Mermaid (伝説の人魚) is the tentative name of a merman from Mass for the Dead.

Appearance
A bipedal fishman, with green scales and webbed hands and feet. He also posses long whiskers and dorsal fins.

Personality
According to one account, the merman had the air of a military commander like a warlord or a general. The merman though retired as a warrior took pride in his immortal soul as a warrior. He believed that giving things away free of charge was a shame.

Background
In the distant past, the merman was once a demi-human warrior who befriended a human who he fought alongside. The merman soon fell in love with the princess of the country his friend belonged. The princess also reciprocated his feelings, however there were many obstacles for inter-species marriage with other races at the time. To avoid bringing trouble to his friend and the princess the merman went into exile, settling in the underwater caves near the seaside of what would become the Re-Estize Kingdom. When he departed, he made a promise to his friend and princess that if they ever needed his strength, he would always answer their call.

However it appears that the merman's true story of his exile was exaggerated by the locals, who over time twisted the oral history and image of the merman into a beautiful mermaid. The instructions on how to summon the "Legendary Mermaid" from the depths were kept accurate for future generations, though none ever tried to summon him and thus the demi-human live in isolation for many years.

Abilities and Powers
It is shown that the demi-human is relatively weak on ldan. Suited for more aquatic environments, in the water the merman's maneuverability and attack power have speeds that are different. Nearly untouchable in the water, the merman has displayed some ability either through magic or a magic item to manipulate the water of the shore. Additionally the demi-human appears to be resistant to magic, though a direct attack might injure him.

Trivia

 * The Legendary Mermaid is the first Merman to actually make an appearance in the Overlord franchise.
