Merrows
The merrow (also known as a mermaid or sea maiden) uses her graceful beauty and irresistible siren song to lure sailors and fisherman to their doom for her amusement. The sight of her, or the sound of her song, ensures a disaster at sea, either by storm or accident. Merrows have been spotted lounging upon sea rocks and described as having a fish tail and webbing between their fingers. In some accounts, she is unclad and in other accounts, she is wears a foamy white gown. When a fisherman or sailor never returns home from the sea, it is said the he "married a merrow."
