Characteristics
In Japan, the mermaid lacked the knowledge for human speech, as it was only "A fish that looked like a person", which is to say, they lacked the soul of one. Eating a fish without a soul won’t necessarily institutionalize the nun for murder, nor would it ruin her vow to not harm others… even if she were, to say, eat an amount of mermaids equivalent to a school of them. In his take, that children's writer wrote a tale where the mermaids were of equal intelligence to humans, yet they remained soulless.
In Fate/Grand Order, they appear as enemies, introduced in the Sea Monster Crisis event.
Merman's Saint Graph Designation can be Lancer or Assassin.
