Merfolk

Source Monster Core pg. 231
Elegant, mysterious, and graceful; all this and more can be said of merfolk. These enigmatic people resemble humanoids with delicate features from the waist up but with the fins and tail of a massive fish from the waist down. Found in nearly all of Golarion's oceans, merfolk are as varied in appearance as humans, their skin ranging from pale to umber and all shades in between, while their gleaming scales shimmer with the majesty of the sea.

While merfolk typically keep to their oceans, isolated merchants and diplomats—as well as the occasional merfolk curious about the wonders of the surface world—spend some time near shore. To more easily move on dry land, many merfolk make use of mobility devices. At their simplest, these might be large wheeled tubs of water, though more sophisticated versions include covers to keep the water from sloshing out, glass portholes, and even magic. The versions used by merfolk ambassadors or merchants often look like richly decorated porcelain baths, or even full glass aquariums on enchanted legs.
