The Humanoid from the Deep

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 19935

The strange creature that was approaching them had the body of a man up to the waist, but the upper half of a dolphin! "It's a manmer!" Astra said. "I've heard legends about them, but the tales said that they were thought never to stray very far from the sea."

"How does it breathe out of the water?" Fred asked. "Surely it has gills?"

"That upper half is like a dolphin, not a fish," Astra pointed out. "It breathes just like you or I do. I suppose I should really say 'he' rather than 'it'. There's no doubt at all that it's a male."

Fred thought that Astra was looking at the manmer rather admiringly, but perhaps he was imagining it. "Is it dangerous?" he asked.

"No, it's totally armless," Alex said, and laughed loudly at his own joke. Fred supposed that as he was only seventeen allowances had to be made for him.

  1. "Would you please stop talking about me as if I wasn't here," the manmer said, startling them (for they had not supposed that he could speak).
  2. More of the menmer appeared, and surrounded our heroes.
