[Azurin Luna]

My mermaid name is:Marlin Harbour Spinner(pistris ostia) Sleek, blue-grey with a colourful dorsal fan that has flashes of blue, red and yellow. This variety is a fast swimmer. A gregarious, friendly subspecies, the ostia is often seen swimming near to small harbours and is fond of catching the bow waves of boats, playing alongside dolphins and other porpoises. Please note: Noted for its spinning behaviour, at first this variety's sanity was questioned. It is in fact a method of stunning fish.

Funny, my new tail design comes close to this description, and I used to live near the harbour :D

[Mermaid Silverlilly]

Lol can't believe it that kinda explains all sides of me :)

Tiger Harbour Hider(tigris ostia) Characteristic wide horizontal brown and yellow-pink bands ring the tail and torso of the tigris. This type of colouring acts as a warning to predators: this subspecies is known for its sharp teeth and ferocious nature. A gregarious, friendly subspecies, the ostia is often seen swimming near to small harbours and is fond of catching the bow waves of boats, playing alongside dolphins and other porpoises. Please note: A shy subspecies, known for its nervousness around humans. It takes effort to win this type's trust.

only thing is my dream tail isn't those colours

[Elle]

I re-did mine and it's changed from the first one I did.

This is my original one with my maiden name

Black Marine Hunter

(aquilus marinus)

Entirely black. Black is a predatory colour, offering disguise in shadows of rocks and clear warning when on the open sea bed.
This subspecies is unusually fond of small boating craft, its naturally playful tendencies sometimes leading it into trouble in shipping lanes.
Note: Intelligent and shrewd, with predatory instincts, this subspecies can be aggressive when disturbed.


This is what it is now

Striped Estuary Cat(virgatus fretum)Striped like a sea-tiger, the virgatus is camouflaged well in waving underwater weed beds, where it likes to make its home.One of the few freshwater varieties, the fretum travels inland for short journeys to hunt freshwater fish, being particularly fond of salmon.Please note: Curious, lively and fond of play, this subspecies has many cat-like qualities.

And this is what it is with my married name


Gold Cape Dart(flavens capenus)Gold coloured with similar variegation between individuals as is seen in coy carp. Flaxen-haired with pale, orange-gold skin.Populates both the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Horn - being particularly at home in rough seas and violent weather, coping with many conflicting forces.Please note: Darts from one hiding place to the next, but do not be fooled, this is not shy behaviour, but predatory stalking.

[Echidna]

For real name:

Oyster River Short Fin (ostrea flumineus)
Has pearlescent white skin and jet black hair. One of the few freshwater varieties, the flumineus favours healthy rivers with adequate fish and mollusc supplies. A rare species today.
Please note: Has a short dorsal fin on the back that cuts the water as it swims.

Pretty close! Apart from the dorsal...haven't managed to make one yet *grumble*

For Echidna:

Mottled Common Stinger(maculosus agnatus)
Mottled and dappled in sandy, stony hues, the maculosus is well-disguised on the seabed where this subspecies prefers to hunt. With an alluring voice, this singing variety is the most famous - luring curious and love-struck sailors to their doom on the rocks.
Please note: A poisonous variety - equipped with fine stinging tentacles that leave a nasty rash on the victim.
accurate enough! Pretty funny.

And finally, my Chinese name:

Striped Arctic Diver(virgatus arctous)
Striped like a sea-tiger, the virgatus is camouflaged well in waving underwater weed beds, where it likes to make its home. The arctous populates the far north, making its home on the frozen wastes of the ice cap, alongside polar bears.
Please note: This diving subspecies is a solitary creature, taking time alone in the deep.

Also pretty accurate. Though I'd prefer some tropical sea, but I'm stuck here in the cold meh.

[SiaTheMermaid]

Neon Surface Dancer
(candesco aequor)

Like a neon fish, the candesco has two characteristic red and blue stripes down each side of the tail that glow and flash In sunlight. The stripes are for display purposes, and the candesco is often seen darting and dancing near the surface at dusk.
Often spotted breaking the waters surface with it's dorsal fin and splashing in the waves, this subspecies has a smaller lung capacity than most.

Note: Romantic and graceful, this subspecies is truly a ballerina of the oceans.

The only two sketches I have of my tail are red and blue. :)

[Vela]

Based on my real name:
Shell Port Leape

It is also known for its shell-collecting behavior.City lovers, the portus congregate near to large ports, exploring netting, anchors, and any other man-made curiosities they find. Scavengers by nature, they have been reported to steal fishermen's catches and are occasionally snared in trawler nets.

[QueenZero]

My mermaid name is:Marlin Ocean Stinger(pistris oceanus)
Sleek, blue-grey with a colourful dorsal fan that has flashes of blue, red and yellow. This variety is a fast swimmer. A traveller of the seas, this subspecies is rarely seen close to shore, instead preferring the wide-ranging deeps of the open ocean.

Yeessss, poison! Haha, nasty rash...and tentacles! (I love me some tentacles, obviously) I like this generator. ;)

It is particularly fond of jellyfish and is often found close to shore.Please note: An excellent hunter, having superior vision and listening skills.

[WaterWitch]

This is the one I got

Black Equatorial Breather
(aquilus solstitialis)
Entirely black. Black is a predatory colour, offering disguise in shadows of rocks and clear warning when on the open sea bed. A hot-blooded subspecies, often found basking on rocks in the sun, soaking up the equatorial heat. Please note: Known for its attractive fluted gills and tendency to swim the shallows.

Seems like a fairly scary breed.

I put in my sister's name too.

Wave Coral Breather
(unda curalium)
The unda is a wave surfer often spotted playing close to the shore on windy days with a high swell. This subspecies is famed for its coral-tending behaviour - like a loving gardener, the curalium tends the reefs and looks after the small animals that live in them.

She really is a gardener! :jawdrop: Spooky..
