Useful Info

Merfolk are the nimble, aquatic humanoids who defend the Shoals from interlopers. They can carry boomerangs, throwing nets, and often come with tridents.

Tips & Tricks

• Regular merfolk are among the easiest opponents in the Shoals. However, a squad of merfolk can still hurt a lot, and any monster with a throwing net is inherently dangerous.

History

• Prior to 0.29, merfolk were more likely to spawn with nets.
• Prior to 0.27, monsters had hidden weapon penalties (they attacked slower).
• Prior to 0.13, you could find merfolk berserkers in a particular vault. These extra-beefy merfolk could call upon Trog for various powers (Berserker Rage, Trog's Hand, Brothers in Arms), and carried a powerful polearm as well as several potions of berserk rage.
