well that is a very open question, because there are lots of meanings, but as a faerie and merfolk studier and researcher i will try my hardest to answer that.

mermen as we humans call them, can live with alot less oxygen, so, like fish, they can breathe in the oxygen from the water. mermen are just like humans, exept they have evolved to live in water.

you may notice that in many ancient tales and legends, they have fish tails or features, which they do. Fins and scales are common on merfolk, but they do vary because like humans, who have differents coloured skin and heights, mermen adapt to their surroundings.

for merfolk, reproducing is an everyday part of life and they do not take shame or restrain from it.there are many tales of mermen luring humans into the water and impregnating them. however, these are quite false, but they do delight with humans but they would never force them to. mermen reproduce the same way humans do as they have always have either a penis or vagina in the groin area, even if they have a tail.

They often survive in clans in shallow seawater in places close to the equator. i will not reveal the places in which the clans are as i have made a covenant to not reveal the whereabouts of their clans.

they eat a diet of fish and seaweed normally, although they have been known to attack and consume humans if the human is threatening.

the merfolk way of life is under threat because of pollution and overfishing and the Indonesian clan has already faded away.

That is all the basic information on mermen.
