I've met these guys a million times, ugly bastards. Mean too! Long story short, I swam in their turf ONE time, and now they want me dead! I call these guys "Merms," 'cause they're like half-finished Mermaids. I first met these guys when I was fishing one day, but then my raft broke apart, so I tried to swim back to shore, but then something latched on my boot and pulled me under, then I was surrounded by dozens of those creepy jerks! They all growled at me like dogs, and the biggest one of 'em said, "We don't take kindly to turf-curdlers 'round here!!" I have no idea what a turf-curdler is, but I assure you, I'm not one... I guess. Anyway, I killed most of those monsters and I swam for my life! I don't know much about them, but I guess they're connected to the whole "it's bad luck to kill a seabird" rule. I have a theory that good sailors turn into seagulls when they die, but bad sailors turn into ugly, little fish monsters when they die. My evidence for this... Well, let's be honest, I don't think I've gotta explain that. These guys are assholes. I think that's all I've got, there's nothing else to these monsters.
