Those of us who adore the ocean might have dreamed of being a mermaid at some point in our childhood. With their colorful, shimmering fins and days spent swimming gracefully underwater, it’s hard not to be envious, especially on days you’re stuck inside furiously typing away on your computer. While these fantastical creatures are often depicted as beautiful, ethereal beings, they can sometimes be fierce or grotesque, depending on the folklore. A famous example is Yaobikuni, the story about a legendary nun who lived for 800 years after eating the flesh of a ningyo (the Japanese word for mermaid), which granted her eternal youth and beauty.

Come and shell-abrate a real good time with these mes-mer-izing merfolk!
