The '''mermaniac''' is a recurring {{MFamilies}} that was introduced in {{Dragon Quest III}}.


It resembles its [[Merman|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 {{MFamilies}} 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]].

A group of four Malicious mermaniacs are fought alongside a [[Merking|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 [[pep]]ped up.
