Pliny follows with an account of a "sea-man" witnessed on the Gulf of Gades ( Gulf of Cádiz). [248] Marine biologist Hondo comments that the Japanese souvenirs tended to use a group of fish shaped like the suzuki ( Japanese sea bass), and asserts that in Canton, China, the type of fish used were Cyprinids (carp family), Nibea mitsukurii, and the giant mottled eel. [327] The mermaid drawn by Cruikshank (i.e., the Fiji mermaid) is speculated to be "concocted from a blue-faced monkey and a salmon". [328]

The conception of the siren as both a mermaid-like creature and part bird-like persisted in Byzantine Greece for some time. [185] The Physiologus began switching the illustration of the siren as that a mermaid, as in a version dated to the 9th century. [75] The 10th century Byzantine Greek dictionary Suda still favored the avian description. [186] [187] The initial "h" is an aspirated h here could very well be pronounced, even in modern Normandy, especially for words borrowed from the Germanic, as Gorog points out elsewhere. [135] Wartburg (Gorog tr.) glosses navette" as "sort of water-sprite ( ondine ) which attracts passers-by at night.. and plunges in with them", adding that in the patois of Valognes, it is used as a bugbear to frighten children from approaching water. With advantages though, come disadvantages because the Hydration need decays much faster when staying outside during daytime! Normally you’d have to spend most of your time near water sources but, to make things easier, I made sure that everytime they use water and then they don’t use it anymore, the “Hydrated” (+2 Happy) buff, which lasts 4 hours, will appear and will slowly fill the hydration need. If a mermaid doesn’t care about their hydration they will pass 2 stages before dying:If the dragon has come to you via dreams, visions, or synchronicity, get ready for a period of transmutation. The dragon takes air into its body and transmutes it into fire when exhaled, thus the dragon totem represents transmutation, alchemy, fire magic, and transformation. The dragon is associated with the element of fire, but since it can fly and also guards the earth is associated with earth and air. There are also water dragons. In conclusion, the dragon is a special spiritual being as it encompasses all four elements. Dragon Mythical Spirit Guide’s Message Kircher's Latin text actually resorts to writing out "piscis ανθρωπόμορφος" partly in Greek ( Greek ligature is used for the final omicron-sigma). [275] Jonston's Latin version uses "anthropomorphos"; the Dutch translator changed this to "-morphus" in the text, though the caption remained "-phos" in the engraving. [273] Bartholin describes in detail that it was caught off of Brazil by merchants of the (Dutch) West India Company, the GWC, and the dissection conducted in Leiden by Petrus Pavius ( Pieter Pauw), attended by Johannes de Laet (who was director of the GWC); Bartholin was given a hand and few ribs from de Laet, as a token of friendship. [266] Mermaids have one more interaction, that is “Sirens melody”, where the sim will sing some notes very briefly. This has effects on other sims (from teens to elders), in fact they will have the “Such a Wonderful voice…” (+8 flirty) buff which lasts 4 hours. Not only when they observe the mermaid, they react by doing a “melted” animation, but they will also accept almost every flirt from the mermaid. This material has been found translated as a medieval Þiðreks saga only in a late, reworked Swedish version, [14] i.e., one of the closing chapters of Ðiðriks saga (15th century, [15] also known as the "Swedish epilogue" [109]). [110] [16] The mermaid/undine is here translated as Old Swedish haffru. [15]

I will lead you through the Magical Gateway and into the Fairy Realm. She’ll also be doing some mini-readings during this session using my new Oracle of the Fairies cards. I will be hosting a Christmas Day with Karen Kay online event in aid of Refuge a leading provider of domestic abuse services in the UK. 100% of proceeds from this event will be donated to Refuge to help them continue to support thousands of women and their children experiencing domestic abuse on any given day.” ~ Karen Kay.

Scantily clad women placed in watertanks and impersonating mermaids performed at the 1939 New York World's Fair. It was part of the "Dream of Venus" installation by Surrealist artist Salvador Dalí. The mermaid interacted with Oscar the Obscene Octopus, and the ongoings were portrayed in E. L. Doctorow's novel World's Fair. [335]
