Origins:
These mythological creatures began many years ago, even before the First Great Ninja War, with Neptune as their leader. They were soft, harmless creatures then, not a single event of their existence was noted up until the first war. The battles between the Senju and the Uchiha set rage to the ocean gods and goddesses. Once Konohagakure was formed, along with a few other nations and villages, trade was formed. The great villages would send out boats to import and export materials for trade, but after a few years of this trade caused the waters to be littered with wood, tea, and the occasional body. Not only that, the poor cleaning of the bottom of the wooden boats caused the sum and dirt to spread within the ocean.
Soon after, Neptune grew ill, the pollution of the world killing him because of his connection to the ocean. On his death bed, he handed the reigns of leadership to gaios - along with his trident. He also gave his sweet daughter, Trite, his staff. He warned them of dangers that approached, a single mermaid would betray them and give away their location, but very vaguely.
The Mermaid of the Darkened Heart, Scylla, was angered by the humans and reached out to her lord, Gaios. However, he thought that any rise from the sea gods would endanger their species and cause their underwater palaces of atlantis to be found. Despite her lord's wishes, Scylla, bent on revenge, harnessed the power of Cthulhu and became darkened and mutated. She was now Scylla of Shipwrecks, the darkest mermaid in all of the seas. She had six long tentacles with vicious dog heads upon the ends that aided her in captivating and seizing ships that traveled in the seas.
However, Gaios was right when her warned her of the dangers of attacking the ships. She was soon studied and trapped, she along with her band of singing sirens. Soon after the ninja studied her, they immediately killed her. Scylla's dangerous escapades led the humans to venture deep underwater and search for the home of the mermaids; Atlantis. They have yet to find them and the dastardly deeds of the harmonizing sirens aren't helping them.
Location of Atlantis - The ocean route from Kumogakure & Kirigakure.
Description: A mermaid or merman is a legendary aquatic creature with the upper body of a human and the tail of a fish. These creatures are typically female, but there is the occasional male. Mermaids are but one form of a siren, others include harpies and undine. A siren is a creature that uses their harmonic voice to lure in victims for captive love or, well, dinner. However, the mer-creatures are known as the most captivating bunch because of their voices, their bodies, and, for the males, their defined features. They are born with breathing apparatuses known as gills that allow them to breathe and communicate underwater.
