Mermaids are actually fiction, although it is fun to pretend. 

Legends have been told for centuries, and some people claim to 

have found the skeletons of them. The first stories appeared in 

ancient Assyria, in which the goddess Atargatis transformed 

herself into a mermaid out of shame for accidentally killing her 

human lover. Mermaids are described in two ways. First, evil. 

Mermaids have a beautiful singing voice. So, when they sang, 

sailors would be held captive by her voice. They would dive in, 

and then the mermaid would pull the body under water, drowning 

him, then doing experiments on the body. Second, kind. Tales 

were told that Mermaids would rescue drowning humans, then 

nurse them until they were back to health. They are many 

legends, and I hope to tell you them all.  

Mermaids have the upper body of a woman, and lower 

body of a fish. Mermaids are bright and colorful, and make 

there home in the ocean. They are mostly vain, and have 

a passion for jewels, and shiny/sparkly things. Mermaids 

usually have a unique color hair, and are covered in bright 

designs and jewel. Mermaids may spend hours combing 

there hair with a shell comb, or painting designs and 

colorful shapes on there tails and faces. A Mermaid's tail 

comes in many colors. Many mermaids have the power to 

turn human, and when touched by water, turn mer. 

Mermaids are often pictured with a long tail, long colorful 

hair, and shell bras. Mermaids are described many ways, 

but it is best to use your imagination. 

Mermaids live in the ocean. They feed on sea 

plants, and tiny fish. They love the ocean, 

especially fish, and do not it large ones, in fear of 

harming the ocean. Mermaids are believed to live 

in underwater castle, or under water caves. They 

like to swim through sea weed in search of lost 

things (Human treasures). There is such thing s 

river mermaids, but they are rare. Some believe 

mermaids can breathe air also, but that is hardly 

true. Mermaids can breathe air briefly, for air is 

raspy, and rough is their lungs. Few Mermaids 

have gills.
