fairytellers:

A mermaid is a legendary aquatic creature with the head and upper body of a female human and the tail of a fish. Mermaids are sometimes associated with perilous events such as floods, storms, shipwrecks and drownings. They can also be benevolent or beneficent, bestowing boons or falling in love with humans.

The merman is the male equivalent of the mermaid, generally assumed to co-exist with their female counterparts.
