People often ask me, “AK, what kinds of mermaids are out there?” (They ask me this because they know I minored in mermanthropology and have an encyclopedic knowledge of all things mermaid and mer-made.) I know a lot of people are curious, so I had Ben and Winslow sponsor this handy mermaid identification guide. These aren’t all the different mermaids out there but they’re definitely the most common.
I got a little carried away with this one, but there is an uncensored version if you’re curious.
