Merpeople are mythical creatures, first mentioned in "Dipper vs. Manliness" by the Manotaurs. A young merman named "Mermando" appears in "The Deep End." Merpeople live underwater, and it can be inferred that they are largely the same as mythological merpeople, and are some combination of human and fish.
History
What may be a skeleton of a merperson can be seen in the Mystery Shack gift shop, although it resembles the famous hoax Fiji Mermaid. In the opening credits, a picture of a merperson like the one in the Mystery Shack can be seen at the end of the credits. They also appear in the episode "The Deep End," when Mabel befriends a merman named Mermando.[1]
