Mermaids are one of the mythological aquatic species that appear in the Filipino fantasy-themed television saga Encantadia produced by GMA Network. They often appear in pairs during Encantadia and Encantadia (2016 TV series).
2005-2006 series[]
Mermaids make cameo appearances throughout the series but never interacted with any of the characters.
Appearance[]
Mermaids were aquatic creatures with a female human head and torso and the tail of a fish. Encantadia's mermaids were beautiful, fair and had tails that varied in colour. They use their long curly hair to cover their breasts.
Appearances in the series[]
- Two mermaids were hanging out at the Batis ng katotohanan (waterfall/stream of truth) of Lireo.
Other appearances[]
- Two mermaids appeared in the Official Music Video of Encantadia (2005-2006 Series) theme song: Mahiwagang Puso.
2016 series[]
Mermaids frequently make an appearance in Encantadia (2016 TV series). They don't talk but can understand what Encantados/Encantadas are saying and provide assisstance in their concerns.
Appearance[]
Mermaids are half human and half fish. They have long curly black hair that cover their breasts and wear hair ornaments such as seashells and pearls.
Appearances in the series[]
- Two mermaids who were hanging out at the meeting place of Alena and Ybarro were asked by Ybarro if they've seen Alena.
- Two mermaids found Ybarro at the sea of Sapiro and brought him to the shoreline. They watched over him until Cassiopea arrives.
- Alena asked the help of two mermaids in searching for the body of Ybarro in the shoreline of Sapiro
- Two mermaids were seen in Wantuk's flashback with his friend, Wantuk jokes and says that he will be catching fishes but he was actually going to catch the two mermaids near the falls! Before he could catch them with his net the mermaids swam away.
Speculations[]
- Perhaps mermaids are able to talk but there is a reason that hinders them to speak to other races.
