In the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy roleplaying game, merfolk are a race of humanoids that live underwater. A merfolk has the upper body, arms, and head of a fair-featured human, and instead of legs it has the scaled tail of a great fish.
A merfolk is usually neutral in alignment. Merfolk are marine, but amphibious, and prefer to avoid combat.
Merfolk worship the god Eadro.
