Reviews
Isnt this promoting beastiality??
The human faces on the fish freaked me out, but mermaids don't freak me out, so I guess the human torso is important to me in a human/fish hybrid.
Can you imagine being the dad? He comes back from working on the ship, and the mom is like, "Oh, we are responsible for this second child now. She was a goldfish, but then she drank our son's blood, so now she's a human. Our son made a lifelong commitment to love her whether she's a fish or a human to save the world, and she LOVES ham, so yeah we will definitely be buying more ham than usual."
