Merrows

Merrows
   From Irish mythology, they are the Merpeople. The women are beautiful, and the men ugly. They live in the depths of the sea and wear a red feather cap. If their cap is stolen, they are unable to return to the sea. They are usually friendly, and the females often fall in love with fishermen.
