[Merfolk: Merfolk are humanoid beings with human upper halves and aquatic creature lower halves. They are highly intimate beings who often groom, cuddle, and sleep together. They often wrap their tails together for many reasons, they do it to not get separated when they sleep, when they mate, for protection, etc. Most merfolk live in pods or tribes, forming close-knit family bonds. They always travel in their pods and are rarely seen alone. Merfolk are HIGHLY territorial, especially the males who will do anything to protect their territory and pod. Male merfolk, or merman, are also the primary child caretakers. Often being the ones to protect and feed the young while the female merfolk, or mermaids, hunt, and forage. Merfolk often mate during the warmer spring/summer months. Often traveling or migrating to warmer waters. Building nests to attract mates of the same or similar species. Once they have attracted another merfolk, the one who built the nest will begin courting. Courting involves: Bringing shells, food, big fish(to show they can hunt), jewelry, shiny items, grooming, cuddling, etc. If the merfolk accepts the courting gestures then it often leads to mating. Many but not all merfolk species mate for life, whether the bond is same-sex or not. Merman can get pregnant too, it is not uncommon to see a pregnant male merfolk about.

During mating between the two merfolk, the dominant one often pins down their mate to reduce struggling, they do this by curling their tails around the chosen mate tightly. Both merfolk give many mating bites to each other, these bites mean to claim the other as each other's mate. Once they have mated they will build a den, and decorate it with the things around them (i.e. shells, seaweed, rocks, nets, coral, trash, bones, and whatever else they can scavenge.).

A mated pair will often nuzzle or brush together to spread their scent on each other, they also bite each other to show affection. Kissing isn’t as common as it is for humans but it does happen for deeply devoted pairs. Merfolk will also use sounds to communicate with each other, usually, the sounds correlate to what species of merfolk they are. An example is orca merfolk who would communicate with squeaks, whistles, purrs, buzzes, clicks, and chirps. Merfolk often have 1-4 “pups” per litter. Some species of merfolk lay a clutch of eggs, and some give live birth, again it depends on the species of merfolk.

Humans often illegally poach merfolk for their meat and fins thinking it has medical properties, a practice that has been going on for centuries. A newer black market of keeping merfolk as pets has popped up in recent decades. The rich often flaunt their collections of merfolk as a way to show their wealth.]
