Your gateway to endless inspiration
MERMAIDS, SIRENS, SELKIES, WATER NYMPHS, AND NEREIDS ARE NOT THE SAME THINGS!
MERMAIDS ARE HALF SEA CREATURE ON BOTTOM AND HALF HUMAN ON TOP. THEY LIVE IN THE OCEAN.
SIRENS ARE OFTEN CONFUSED WITH MERMAIDS BUT ARE ACTUALLY HALF BIRD AND HALF HUMAN, AND THEY LURE YOU TO YOUR DEATH BY TELLING YOU WHAT YOU TRULY DESIRE.
SELKIES ARE HUMANS THAT TURN INTO SEALS. IF YOU STEAL THEIR SEALSKIN THEY ARE BOUND TO YOU.
WATER NYMPHS CAN LIVE IN FRESHWATER OR SALT WATER AND LOOK HUMAN-LIKE BUT ARE IN FACT NATURE SPIRITS.
NEREIDS ARE A TYPE OF WATER NYMPH BUT ARE OCEAN NYMPHS. THERE ARE ONLY 100 OF THEM AND THEY ARE THE DAUGHTERS OF NEREUS AND DORIS, DORIS BEING THE DAUGHTER OF OCEANUS.
