* Yandere.{{Literature}}: In Kier Neustaedter's short story "And [[PunctuationShaker Sáavüld]] Danced..." the [[OurMermaidsAreDifferent title character]], put in a situation much like the ''Literature/{{Stardoc}}'' example below, goes to similar lengths (albeit by [[DealWithTheDevil making a deal]] with an EldritchAbomination rather than by way of technology) to get revenge. However, she's treated far more sympathetically—a sort of [[TragicHero tragic]] [[AntiVillain Anti]]-VillainProtagonist, as it were.

* TakenForGranite.VideoGames: Happens during the battle with [[OurMermaidsAreDifferent Cala]] {{M|edusa}}aria in ''VideoGame/{{Cuphead}}''. In her gorgon form, she can fire out a huge beam that'll turn our heroes Cuphead and Mugman into stone (complete with their empty eye sockets), which will put them in danger of getting hit by a real bullet if they're not [[SmashingSurvival quick to break out of their stoned forms]]. This eventually gets turned on her in her second-to-third phase transition, where her whole body (sans her head) turns to stone and crumbles into the ocean, forcing her to detach her own head and continue battling the boys. In simple difficulty, her entire body becomes completely petrified after her defeat.

* Animation.{{Mermaid}}: As noted above, the rusalka solve the MermaidProblem by being fully human in body. That's because they aren't actually fish people: they are the spirits of young women who either drowned themselves or who were murdered by drowning. And instead of being cutesy, they are malevolent: see TheFairFolk above.
* Anime.PonyoOnTheCliffByTheSea: Ponyo and her sisters resemble the traditional depictions of ningyo (mermaids) from Japanese folklore. Unlike European mermaids, they're basically fish with human faces (although the folkloric ones tend to be far more grotesque and monstrous). [[JerkassHasAPoint As Toki points out]], catching one is indeed a sign of misfortune.
* Anime.DoraemonNobitasGreatBattleOfTheMermaidKing: Sophia and her kin are former humans who became adapt to living underwater, with their mermaid transformation being facilitated by turning a button on their clothes. They can survive on dry land for quite a while, but the moment they start drying up they'll need to submerge themselves in water, notably in Sophia's first meeting with the gang - she passes out after flying for several minutes on the Takecopter, but luckily the tub at Shizuka's house is always full of water.
* Bloodborne.TropesJToZ: ''The Old Hunters'' has what's probably the closest analogue to mermaids in the ''Bloodborne'' world. They're white, woman-shaped mollusk-like creatures that frequently inhabit large ammonite shells who [[spoiler:appear to worship Kos, and have been transformed into their state by her influence]].

[[folder:Correct - Describes what makes the mermaid unique (4/50)]]
* Animation.{{Mermaid}}: As noted above, the rusalka solve the MermaidProblem by being fully human in body. That's because they aren't actually fish people: they are the spirits of young women who either drowned themselves or who were murdered by drowning. And instead of being cutesy, they are malevolent: see TheFairFolk above.
* Anime.PonyoOnTheCliffByTheSea: Ponyo and her sisters resemble the traditional depictions of ningyo (mermaids) from Japanese folklore. Unlike European mermaids, they're basically fish with human faces (although the folkloric ones tend to be far more grotesque and monstrous). [[JerkassHasAPoint As Toki points out]], catching one is indeed a sign of misfortune.
* Anime.DoraemonNobitasGreatBattleOfTheMermaidKing: Sophia and her kin are former humans who became adapt to living underwater, with their mermaid transformation being facilitated by turning a button on their clothes. They can survive on dry land for quite a while, but the moment they start drying up they'll need to submerge themselves in water, notably in Sophia's first meeting with the gang - she passes out after flying for several minutes on the Takecopter, but luckily the tub at Shizuka's house is always full of water.
* Bloodborne.TropesJToZ: ''The Old Hunters'' has what's probably the closest analogue to mermaids in the ''Bloodborne'' world. They're white, woman-shaped mollusk-like creatures that frequently inhabit large ammonite shells who [[spoiler:appear to worship Kos, and have been transformed into their state by her influence]].
