The Mermaid

Unread postby Kalah » 16 Jun 2011, 21:20

Artwork of the <i>Heroes VI</i> mermaid, another neutral elite creature once created by the wizards of the Seven Cities.

I find it interesting to note that the creature is described as "half dolphin" when it has no dolphin-like attributes whatsoever ...

Its possible the half-dolphin attribute was part of an earlier stage of the concept.

This version of the mermaid seems a very refreshing take on the creature.

You just have to bring in this old argument into another thread. Mermaids are female, they also are traditionally not combat units, but use their wiles to distract/mesmerize their opponents (i.e. hypnotize in H-IV). Wearing full battle gear would not help them in seducing any of their opponents, so she may even be considered overdressed. :D

Now that's a nice one.

The phoenix btw looks great except for its colour. Why the f**k don't they associate it with the sun?! o.O

Yeah, yeah, yeah I missed the combat boots not armor. That would be a trick putting boots on fins. :-D

I thought TT said he would only post when he had something intelligent to say. 8| No that couldn't be him. :lol:

I'm pleased with this one. :devious:



Mainly because it has gotten out of my mind that a mermaid should be a lesse tier. Perhaps because merpeople used to be something like commoners of the sea in my point of view. Alas, not this one.



The part dolphin might be her voice? :) Just imagine her attacking with her fluid like and beautiful attack before squealing: Kwiiiitititirikiii! And then leaping back into a pond you were sure weren't there just now.

The more important question is how she manages to keep her bra in place. Is it like a suction type thing? I don't see any strings.

The bra appears to be two limpets, which any Marine Scientist will tell you holds by suction. Who would have thought being an invertebrate would have its advantages in a heroes game. :-D
