Usually when Our Mermaids Are Different, they still tend to be part fish, or more specifically the scaled kinds. It's less common to see a merfolk that's part shark note though sharks technically have scales, they are, if not microscopic, at least really small or ray, or part cetacean, crustacean, cephalopod, mollusk, etc. But they do show up in fiction, and that's what this trope is about. Octopus-bodied merfolk, in particular, are the most likely to be treated as their own thing and are often called "cecaelia". Also these merfolk are still just as likely to have the Mermaid Problem, unless they are part aquatic mammal or part shark. See also Selkies and Wereseals, Shark Man, Cthulhumanoid. Compare Fish People and Snake People. |

The Mermaid Chronicles has selachii, shapeshifters who can look either like regular sharks, or like merfolk with shark tales. Wade is one of the few selachii with the ability to turn all the way into a human. | |

In Tamagotchi! Yume Kira Dream episode 44, Yumemitchi and Kiraitchi use the Yume Kira bags to transform into mermaids and retrieve Boltotchi's gift for Nutotchi, which had been dropped in the water by accident. While in their mermaid forms, Yumemitchi and Kiraitchi's tailfins do not have visible scales. | |

Warpers in Subnautica follow roughly this body plan, with a humanoid torso ending in cephalopod-like tentacles. Their arms and heads aren't very human-like, however. The Sea Dragon and Sea Emperor Leviathans have a somewhat similar anatomy, albeit scaled way, waaaaaay up. | |

Captain Anne Sirena of Endless Frontier is a mermaid with an orca's fin. Worth noting is that only the women of her species are unscaled; the males are Fish People. And much to Haken's embarrassment, the women like scales on their men. | |

Changeling: The Dreaming: The Merfolk are composed of several different types. Kithain Merfolk are divided into different Houses based on various vertebrate sea creatures. Scaled fish are only a single house (albeit the largest), while sharks, eels, and rays are another, and air-breathing creatures like whales, reptiles, and dolphins are another, the last of which are most well-known to humans due to their interactions with them. Thallain Merfolk, on the other hand, are composed of the myriad of seagoing invertebrates. | |

Squid Girl is half-human half-squid, but averts the "human upper half, fishy lower half" part of the trope. Instead, she wears a hat shaped like the top end of a squid and her hairlocks are the tentacles. Oh, and ink comes out of her mouth when she sneezes or pukes. | |

The Little Mermaid: Ursula is half octopus, a form of mermaid known as cecaelia. Her sister Morgana is the same, though she is much skinnier with green skin while Ursula is more full figured with purple skin. Some of her concept sketches had her as part Scorpionfish, a somewhat unusual choice for fish halves. |

Pathfinder: Cecaelias are the typical Ursula-style octopus-merfolk. Grindylows are aquatic aberrations that are essentially goblins doing the octopus-merfolk thing. Though not officially "goblinoids", they do share the same general mentality, though they hate and fear squids rather than horses and dogs. For reasons that should be obvious. |

Dungeons & Dragons: 3rd Edition has darfellans, which are based off of killer whales. Mystara: The kopru are a race of aquatic mind-controllers with Cthulhumanoid faces, slick eel-like bodies, and triple-finned tails that end in nasty ripping hooks. Think mermaid mind flayers. Seas Of Vodari: The Ocean Punk setting has two playable races of this type. Three, if you count the Tiburons, which are humanoid sharks from the waist up and then regular sharks from the waist down, merfolk style. The Cecaelia are the classic "octopus merfolk" species, complete with color-changing skin, high intelligent, and a surprisingly short lifespan. Grindylows, subaquatic Vodari's equivalent of goblins, are humanoid sharks from the waist up and octopus merfolk from the waist down. |

Twisted Wonderland: Multiple: Azul (an octopus merman) Jade and Floyd (twin moray eel mermen). The twins' eel forms lean noticeably further towards the fish end of the spectrum (webbed fingers, vertical tail flukes, fins on the back of their forearms and in place of their ears, green colouration and markings extending past the hips to the torso and face) than the background merfolk depicted in the game, who all possess more humanoid anatomy. |

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword calls them "The Syren" through one of the Do You Know? promotional adverts for the film. They're likely half-woman and half-octopus, but are obscured by their own tentacles. The Big Bad of the film, Vortigern, strikes a deal with them for power. The film's version of The Lady of the Lake is also implied to be one, albeit wearing concealing clothing. | |

Once Upon a Time features Ursula as an ancient sea goddess. When the Evil Queen Regina impersonates her, thinking the goddess is fictional, Ursula brings a statue to life and threatens her life. Season 4 brings in Ursula the villain, as usual for Disney featuring The Little Mermaid franchise characters. Her backstory shows her to be a normal mermaid before becoming a sea witch and becoming half-octopus like the goddess whose name she takes. |
