I don't really know breh.
But this the perfect thread to let y'all know that in Angola's mythology mermaid's prey on humans. The most famous one over here is called "Kianda" and she'd lure the brehs to the river (not even the sea, but a river. That girl was about her business) to :eat:. I recall thinking she was a "real one" for that as a boy. :wow:
