A merbear is an animal with the front half of a bear and a mermaid's tail. Merbears evolved from bears in the modern-day Senya and Pemhakamik where they survived before eventually becoming merbears to save themselves.

In Senya and Pemhakamik, the grizzly merbear is the national animal. About 1,000 merpeople both above and below the surface keep merbears as pets or live with them. The estimated population in Atlantis is of about two million.

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

Before the Flood, when bears walked they were like regular bears, as they hibernated during winter. As the Flood came with the birth of King Triton, due to the bears being affected by the merman gene, they seemed to have lost it, and since then, merbears are able to survive in any climate. Hibernation seems to have been lost.

Merbears are considered to be predators, although eating merfishes would lead to more merbear cubs.

Some merbears have developed abilities to speak (mostly limited), although few have done it successfully.

Kinds of species[edit | edit source]

  • Grizzly: the most common species of merbear in Atlantis.
  • Shark merbears: similar to the above species, except that the tail is that of a shark. Some of these tails are blue due to the properties of the atmosphere and are fast swimmers.
