Mermaids and Mythical Creatures
Enter the water.
Grow a tail.
A Hytale mod with four playable transformations: mermaid, werewolf, vampire and lamia. Each has its own trigger, abilities, menu and config.
Four creatures
What turns you
A player is one creature at a time. Every creature can be toggled off per player and gated per world by an admin.
Mermaid
Entering water
The Curve Tail in place of legs, faster swimming, water breathing and night vision underwater, and slower going on land.
Blocks and rain can trigger it too, if an admin enables them.
Werewolf
The clock and the moon
Transforms on the in-game hours an admin sets. A howl rallies the pack.
The hours can be narrowed to chosen moon phases.
Vampire
Always, or after dark
A custom model, eye and skin color, and a Blood Drain that heals you from the damage you deal.
An admin picks: always transformed, or only at night and from potions.
Lamia
Choosing it
Your own upper body over a long serpent tail, on land and in water.
No water, night or potion needed. Pick it as your active form and you stay one.

Welcome to the Official Mermaids and Mythical Creatures Mod Wiki!
Now up to date for Update Version 4.0.0! Ever wanted to be a Mermaid? Now you can with Mermaids: enter the water and grow a tail, with increased swim speed, water breathing, night vision, and more while swimming through the seas, oceans, and rivers.
Mermaids has grown beyond just mermaids – the mod is a full Mythical Creatures system with four playable transformations: the Mermaid, the Werewolf, the Vampire, and – new in 4.0.0 – the Lamia. Check out the Mythical Creatures page to learn about each one.
New in 4.0.0: every mermaid now wears the Curve Tail, with an animation for every player animation, thirteen fins and three tail styles.
