Merfolk:

In the past – merfolk ruled the waters. Humans are afraid to venture into open waters, and the few that do without proper protection are never heard from again. The ocean is ruled by large species of mer, ranging from the Apex megalodon, the deep-sea giant squid, and the solitary Livyatan. Before the rapid progression of human technology, merfolk outnumbered humans and were plentiful. Now, because of the rapid expanse of human reach and the ever-growing population, merfolk have become rare and elusive. This shift from abundance to their intense decline has led many merfolk to become hostile towards humans – and vice-versa.

Merfolk are rare and elusive, and most, if not all of the individuals housed in the Georgia aquariu
