Nate started to write down the notes.
Merpeople
are sentient beings
refused to be classified as ‘beings,’ preferring the status of ‘beast’ like Centaurs
society is based around organized communities
have a great love of music
language (Mermish) sounds like screeches above water
have grayish skin and long, wild, dark green hair. Their eyes are yellow, as are their broken teeth, and they wear thick ropes of pebbles around their necks. Their powerful, silver fish tails allow them to swim expertly, while the upper parts of their bodies resemble those of humans. Merpeople are also very tall, and during the second task, Harry encountered one in the lake near Hogwarts who was seven feet tall with a long green beard and a choker of shark fangs, carrying a spear
keep grindylows as pets
use lobalugs as weapons
[at least] one tribe domesticated a hippocampus
Sirens of Greece are the earliest recorded Merpeople and most aesthetic
Selkies of Scotland and the Merrows of Ireland are less pleasing to the eye.
all share a love of music though
MoM classification: XXXX

Hippocampus
beast with the head and forequarters of a horse, and the tail and hindquarters of a giant fish, making it somewhat similar in appearance to an over-sized seahorse
generally found in the Mediterranean, a blue roan specimen was caught by Merpeople off the coast of Scotland in 1949 and domesticated.
classification: XXX
Nate raises his hand, and says "Is a simple creature, ten inches long comprising a rubbery spout and a venom sac. It uses its venom sac as a weapon, contracting it and expelling the venom in the direction of an attacker if threatened. A Grindylow is a small, horned water demon that lives in the weed beds at the bottom of lakes.It has green teeth, pointy horns and long fingers, which are used to strangle their prey. They attack witches, wizards, and muggles although merpeople are known to domesticate them."
