[edit] Rikuo from Darkstalkers

According to his photograph, Rikuo's description is different from this article's first definition of a merman. Rikuo is more humanoid in appearance (due to having two legs instead of a single tail) and has webbed hands (supposedly more adept for swimming) as well as fins on his back, behind his head, and out of his elbows. He seems more remenicient to the zoras in the Legend of Zelda series since Ocarina of Time. Should one include Rikuo here?

Yes, also his legs turn into a single tail in his vampire savior victory screen as well as him falling down ingame CheapAlert 22:08, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mershaq

Something should be written about the Mershaq here.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.121.60.32 (talk • contribs) 02:55, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

This apparently refers to a short YouTube video with an animated "Mershaq" character who is "half mermaid, half Shaquille O'Neal, and 100 per cent 'pretty cool'."--Adavidb 10:39, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Basshaa

The addition of the Kamen Rider Kiva character "Basshaa" in the Entertainment section of this article is out of place. The character is a Gill-Man, not a Mer-Man, as these characters themselves are meant to refer to classical horror monsters. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.87.68.61 (talk) 02:19, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
