* In ''ChangelingTheDreaming'', the Merfolk are composed of several different types. Seelie Merfolk are divided into different Houses based on various vertebrate sea creatures. Scaled fish are only a single house (albeit the largest), while sharks, eels, and rays are another, and air-breathing creatures like whales, reptiles, and dolphins are another, the last of which--with their vertical tails--are most well-known to humans due to their interactions with them. Unseelie merfolk, on the other hand, are composed of the myriad of seagoing invertebrae.
