* ''PowerRangersMysticForce'' features the first ever Mermaid-themed '''zord'''. Blue Ranger Madison is a [[MakingASplash water elemental]] and naturally gets the Mystic Mermaid Zord.
* Mermaids appear in two separate episodes of ''SabrinaTheTeenageWitch'' as minor characters. In one episode Sabrina has to take over Mercury's deliveries and delivers the wrong package to a mermaid - a pair of high heels so presumably she can't turn into a human. In a seventh season episode Sabrina finds a man who has a mermaid trapped in a cage in his basement as part of his collection. He allows her a small bathtub.
** In one of the novelizations "Age of Aquariums", Sabrina finds a race of merpeople inside the school's new aquarium called the Keftiu. It turns out that it's actually the shrunken lost city of {{Atlantis}}. At first when Sabrina visits them, she simply stays inside a large bubble of air. The second time, she turns herself into a mermaid [[AFormYouAreComfortableWith so they'll trust her]] and pretends to be their mythological "Conch Queen of Doom".

* Creator/AnneGreenwoodBrown's young adult novel ''Lies Beneath'' and its sequel ''Deep Betrayal'' feature mermaids who can change into human form at will (though depending on how long they've been out of water, immersion can trigger an immediate, instinctive change, and it is sometimes painful). In mermaid form, a silver ring is visible around their neck. Other abilities include generating electricity (which can be governed by emotions), telepathy with fish, and a telepathic bond with others in their family while in mermaid form, which can only be severed by the head of their family. Mermaids are instinctively drawn to others in the link, and it makes it very hard for a mermaid (or merman) to strike out on their own, though some with stronger wills are capable of doing so. They age at a rate of one year for every three that go by. Mermaids are unable to break a promise once made, and react VERY badly to humans who do so. 
** Feeding-wise, ''Lies Beneath'' mermaids can eat normal food, but are drawn to humans whose auras shine with positive emotions, absorbing them directly from the human, leaving them as dried-out husks and providing the mermaid with a brief reprieve from their natural bleakness. They are predators, and act like them. 
** Reproduction is done in two ways: first, directly with humans while in human form. After the birth, the infant is left with the father until they learn to walk, at which point they are returned to the mother, and live as a mermaid full-time. The other, less common way is known as "reinvigoration", in which a human drowns and has their heart restarted via the mermaid's electric shock. This method fully converts the human into a mermaid, and bonds them to their new family. It is a very rare event, but can be done, usually by a mermaid who had drowned a victim and had second thoughts.

Um... It was the "voice" in the Disney version, but it was her tongue in the actual story.
