Merfolk

Description
The Merfolk are a kind of human beings adapted to life in the deep sea, in the classical merfolk shape known from legend and fairy tale - human upper body and fishtail in the lower regions. They are descended from the human inhabitants of the lost city of Atlanta which chose to stay behind as the city sank under water, and in time developed to their current form with the help of the caffeine from the Coca-Cola bottling plant. Despite this evolutional leap, the population of Atlanta has not changed that much over the centuries in certain areas and still retains the Dixie feeling of the old days. Even their clothing much resembles that of 20th century humans.

Of course, the Atlanta merfolk are a spoof of the merfolk from legend, the lost city of Atlantis and of Southerners in the USA.

Habitat
The bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, around the lost city of Atlanta

Reproduction
In this area, the merfolk have certainly gained much distance to the original humans to the point of incompatibility. The process of reproduction resembles that of fish: the female lays her eggs and then the male releases his fertilizer over them.
