In myths, a mermaid is an aquatic creature with the upper body of a woman and the tail of a fish. Mermaids appear in the legends of many cultures worldwide, including Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Mermaids are sometimes associated with perilous events such as floods, storms, shipwrecks, and drownings. In other folk traditions (or sometimes within the same traditions), they can be benevolent or beneficent, bestowing treasure or falling in love with humans. Some believe they are angelic creatures who save people from drowning and are friends with all marine life, others think mermaids are evil and have an irresistible voice that they use to lure men to their deaths. Some believe that mermaids are actually just manatees who were mistaken for women with tails by distraught or poorly-sighted sailors and divers.
Nobody can ever seem to agree with what mermaids truly are. Do they have these great ocean powers, or can they not even summon a drop of water? Do their tales resemble more of a dolphin or a shark? Can they truly lure men to death with a song and pretty eyes? Who's to say they can't do all of that. Who's to say that maybe mermaids aren't born, but made.
