Mermaniac

The mermaniac is a recurring monster that was introduced in Dragon Quest III.

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.

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.
