The “Mermaid” refers to a class of entities found globally across maritime cultural records. While historically dismissed as sailors’ delusions or sightings of Sirenia (manatees), current repository data suggests these entities possess advanced mimicry capabilities and a distinct, non-human consciousness.

Per the Global Anomalous Framework (GAF), when these entities manifest in active state, the following protocols apply:

“The siren song is not acoustic; it is a neurological resonance pattern. Do not attempt direct vocal engagement.”

  1. Physical/Occult Law: Entities must adhere to established physics within the littoral zone, though they exhibit localized gravity-well manipulation.
  2. Containment Perimeter: A mandatory 50-meter safety radius must be maintained at all times to prevent auditory hallucination onset.

In the context of modern cryptid research and SCP-adjacent containment, the mermaid is no longer viewed as a “myth.” Recent thermal imaging suggests these entities utilize high-frequency bioluminescence to disorient deep-sea exploration vessels.

Current Research Directives:

  • Protocol 01: Deployment of sonic dampeners within the 50m radius.
  • Protocol 02: Mandatory use of polarized ocular protection to avoid retinal fixation on bioluminescent displays.
  • Data Gap: We currently lack a verified specimen for containment. If you are a field agent with active surveillance footage, please upload to the encrypted terminal immediately.

The classification of ‘Neutral’ is purely observational. Do not mistake a lack of overt aggression for a lack of lethality. Mermaids operate on an ecosystem logic we have yet to map fully; they do not hunt for sport, but for equilibrium.
