No they weren't. Confused
JKR based them off of real merpeople.

Look at this.



It's been on the net for a while but i thought it would make quite a good topic.


i clicked no because i refuse to believe dead mermaids look that horrid. and if it were real it would be all over the news. not just the net.

why are all these mythical creatures turning up and so ugly. i mean that unicorn a few weeks back was fugly and now this elegant, shiny mermaid... looks like the bat from ferngully mated with a vampric fish


Although I'd like to believe it's real (as I wish other mythical creatures were), I fully agree with you, lol. Laughing

lol probably one of the fakest mermaids I've ever seen.

If it were real, don't you think the media and scientists would be all over this thing? Hmmm. Or maybe the government would store it in a fridge at Area 51 and tell us that they found a bag of Dorritos.

Nope. not real. Hollywood has created more convincing monsters.

I agree with ravvy, why are all these creatures which we imagined as majestic and wonderful looking like something out of soem bad sci-fi channel movie.

photoshop can do magical things


Amen sister! It turns fat women skinny. Its more magical than lipo!


But anyway, since the article discussing the image was uncovered, I'm going to have to agree with "statue." Wink

The possibility of life on Mars had people freaking out for months. I'm sure if a mermaid body was discovered scientists would begin constructing vessels for deep sea exploration faster than you could count to three.
