do you like the idea that there might be merfolks out there?
Yes, I love this idea. It would be so amazing to come across one. I think I would be in utter disbelief if I ever did though XD

does it scare you?
No, unless they tried to kill me or something then I would reconsider being scared XD


do you believe it is real or just fully a myth?

In my mind I want to believe they are real, but in reality I feel they are not.

[align=center]if you were ever got the chance to see one, one day, what would be your first reaction?

O____________O <-- that face XD

When I think of mermaids I think of murderers. :/

I also imagine that they are slightly deformed and grotesque looking.

So, in other words, I'm glad they're just a myth.

do you honestly think that such creatures would call themselves that? I don't think so.

But yeah, the Undine myth is a truly fantasicing one. they take on so many different forms depending on which nationality or region. and for each nationality, they go by different names too.

My favorite type is the selkies though... they have like a hundred of far more intersting stories out of all those mythologies.

Selkie--(also known as silkies or selchies) are creatures found in Faroese, Icelandic, Irish, and Scottish mythology. the top is like that of a human, but the bottom part is like a seal's. apparently they have those seal tails because of this magical belt they have on all the time.. and when they take this belt off their tails magically become human legs, and they're able to take walks alongside the coasts. Sometimes they will even take human lovers and live on land for a while... and the humans wouldn't even know they were a selkie.

That's really interesting actually, I have never even thought about what other countries called them and such. :)

do you like the idea that there might be merfolks out there? I love the idea that they might be out there
does it scare you? it does not scare me.
do you believe it is real or just fully a myth? I think that it is a myth but you cant be for sure but i would still have to see it to believe it.
if you were ever got the chance to see one, one day, what would be your first reaction? my first reaction would probably be "wow" and then depending on if they were friendly or not i would decide from there what to do

I would love the idea that they existed.

It seems really interesting to me, like a very unique myth.

It would be cool if they existed, but as long as there's no evidence I'm inclined to disbelieve.

hmm i don't know if i necessarily believe in merfolk but I'd like to believe they do exist. I think something is actually in Loch Ness and maybe I believe Bigfoot could be roaming about so sure why not. Merfolk, or something like them, exist

i am curious if you have ever thought about this myth;
Yes, I have.
do you like the idea that there might be merfolks out there?
I think it would be interesting.

does it scare you?
No, why would it? They would be just like us except being able to breathe in water.

do you believe it is real or just fully a myth?
Probably a myth, but I would totally be interested in seeing one if they were real. I don't believe we are the only humans, or human like creatures that this big world has to offer.

if you were ever got the chance to see one, one day, what would be your first reaction?
If I got to see one in real life, probably would be shock... but then I would think that is awesome, I want to converse with it now.

I think if they were real, they would be something closer to the dark side of creatures. I'd be kinda scared, there are myths in my culture that portray them as bad creatures so yeah... Ironically I loved the Little Mermaid.

Please accept me back with open arms ; ~ ;



Do you like the idea that there might be merfolks out there?
No, if there were, they would probably not be the cute ones we think of.
does it scare you? No, since I believe it just to be a myth.
Do you believe it is real or just fully a myth? It's just a myth that changes depending on where you hear the stories.
If you were ever got the chance to see one, one day, what would be your first reaction? Fear, then curiosity.

To me, merfolks are myths. Like they could be real, but until somebody comes out with proof, I'm gonna have to pass on believing in them.

If they were real, they would probably hate the human race anyways because while we can walk on land and swim in the water, they are stuck in the water and can not come on land.

If I poof, it's because I got lost o.0

Do you like the idea that there might be merfolks out there?
Sure, I love the idea of merfolk! I absolutely love science, and the fact that there's always something new and amazing to be discovered. Now imagine if something that totally defies science appears in real life! That would be amazing!

Does it scare you?
Mmmm, not really.

Do you believe it is real or just fully a myth?
As far as I know, it is a myth. However, show me a merperson and I might change my mind. ;)

If you were ever got the chance to see one, one day, what would be your first reaction?
I would try to follow it, see if there are more, and if there are, I would capture it, bring it to the surface, and dissect it! :D

If you look back to the writings of The Little Mermaid the original one, it's clear that back in the older days people truly believed in mermaids. Possibly in those days there was a water creature that looked oddly like a human from far away. Or they could have truly existed and are no longer coming to the surface, or they've died out and become extinct.
