Description Mermaids are renowned for their fantastic....

...lung capacity. You can hear them bellowing for miles on a calm day. Or you could if she wasn't in a bubble on a space ship.

You know there are those legends that dolphins are people who decided to go live in the sea, maybe that time is coming around again?

Well... ever seen a flat chested mermaid? They must use all that extra space for something. I figured big lungs like dolphins or manatees.

Don't some of them carve combs from shells or bones and entangle ships in their hair? Maybe that was a modern fantasy tale.

*watches your icon bubble* She'd probably be happier as a free range critter, but I suspect she needs a civilization around to feed her.

Exaggerated limbs seem like pretty standard creature modification starting points.

I mean adding fins that look like arms and legs to make a mermaid...usually it's just a fishtail....

Ah, well, I actually started out with one but there wasn't enough fluff that way for the whole fancy goldfish look.
