| Old localization | Merzoncian (III NES) Merdane (III GBC) |
It resembles its more common cousin in form and behaviour, with the main difference being that the mermaniac has the coloration of a river bass instead of an ocean dweller. Oddly, the monster appears in the Japanese version of V under the name of マーマンダイン and was inaccurately localized as the Merking.

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive AgeEdit
A group of four malicious mermaniacs are fought alongside a malicious merking threatening Michelle and Kainui at the Strand during the third act. Their main difference from a regular malicious mermaniac is their ability to become pepped up.
