* FurryDenial: [[AvertedTrope Averted.]] Since everyone in the series is an animal, the non-mermaid characters were called “land maids” instead of humans.
** However, in the first episode, Hannah mentions about being a "human", though that is technically a script error and not really a case of FurryLens.
