Wild looking with a penchant for conflict, Merpeople have a reputation for their warlike tendencies and history of dragging people underwater to their deaths. With grey skin, dark green hair, yellow eyes and sharp teeth, encountering a Merperson colony can be intimidating if not life-threatening. Merpeople come in many different forms including Merrows, Sirens and Selkies, all of whom have been responsible for the death of many mesmerised sailors. Merpeople have a tense relationship with wizardkind, particularly due to their classification as ‘beast’ rather than ‘being’ by the Ministry.
