            A mermaid is a phenomenal aquatic mortal. This creature became well eminent with the upper body of a female individual and the tail of a fish. Mermaids have been emerging in the folklore and mythologies of many civilizations worldwide. They have also been enduring symbols of transformation, seduction and fantasy in myths and traditions for thousands of years. Mermaids have been an admired subject of art and literature in recent centuries.
Mermaids – another type of half-human/half-monster were mermaids. Like Melusine, they would be a beautiful women from the waist up, but instead of having legs and feet their bottom half would be a fishes tail. Many medieval cultures had folktales about mermaids (or creatures very similar to them) including in the Middle East and Asia, and they had a mixed reputation: in some stories they could be found helping people, but in other cases they were said to try to lure men into the water, where they would drown them.
