"Nothing is hidden from His eyes and ears. Even this vast sea is so small compared to Him. And we are even smaller. Just little people in little boats, swept up in the tide...And my master—he is the tide!"

A merfolk

Merfolk are an aquatic race found in the Sea of Light.

Lore

Merfolk are vaguely humanoid, in as much that they possess two arms and wield weapons. They can fight in both sea and on land. They have demonstrated the ability to rapidly grow a hard substance over objects, preventing their use.[1]

After returning to Sanctuary in the guise of Akarat, Mephisto apparently enlisted the aid (or corralled) the merfolk to serve him. At the behest of one of his Hands, they attacked a ship headed for Skovos; one carrying the Wanderer and Lorath Nahr. The two survived the attack and fought the merfolk off, but at the cost of many other lives, and damage to the ship.[1]

In-game

Merfolk are a monster family in Diablo IV, introduced in the Lord of Hatred expansion. They are first encountered in the quest "Hatred's Wake."
