Mermaids are (mythical) creatures that have the torso and face of a human woman, but the tail of a fish. Mermen are the same exept, obviously, they have the torso of a man.
People now believe that sailors invented these creatures after seeing the forms of manatees swimming past their ships...probably after they had a little too much rum =P

In reality they were manatees or sea cows. Kinda funny I wonder how long you would have to be at sea to think a manatee is an attractive woman.
Oh yeah, half fish and half woman. The male version is called Mermen.

"Mermaids" are women on top, and fish on bottom who live in the sea. A fantasy creature.
