On this page, you'll find a unique breed of Norns known as MerNorns! These
MerNorns are especially created for those of us who enjoy having Norns with the ability to
roam under the sea. The thing that makes these so special is that not only can they breath
in water, but they have a fully functional fishtail! These MerNorns have all new sprites
so that their stay in the water look a little more natural for them. Although, they do
look a bit odd when swimming around on land. For their own health, they shouldn't be on
land anyway. ^_^
The MerNorns were created by J. Vara (me) and Lis Morris. I did all the sprite
editing, While Lis gave the breed life with her wonderful new genome and her abilities
with attachment files! I must say, I'm awfully proud of the result... I never thought it
could be done. I'm happy to say Lis proved me wrong. ^_^
And lastly, before you ask, this breed is to remain an exclusive to Lis'
and my (Wafuru) pages. Please do not ask to host them, and please do not host them
in spite of this statement. What does this mean? It means do not repost in
part or in whole the package, eggs, and norns available on this page.

MerNorns |
Male |
 |
This is the baby stage and they look much like any other normal
baby Norn. They can't breath water, they won't have functioning gills until they get
older. |
 |
 |
This is the juvenile stage of the transformation, in which the
MerNorn can still breath on land with its slowly withering lungs, but can now breath in
water with still developing gills. |
 |
 |
Here, the MerNorn is a full-fledged adult. It's legs have
merged into a fine piscean tail. Once it has reached this stage of its cycle, it can never
return to land. |
 |
So there you have it. Here's a few quick notes on how to care for your new
MerNorns.
When the MerNorn is born, it can't breath in water. A good way to care for a
naturally born MerNorn is to remove them from the water upon hatching and place them in
the incubator area. Here, they can eat and learn as they're growing.
Your MerNorn will be okay on land until they reach full maturity at around 1
hour. You'll want to get them to the nearest ocean before that time. The best ocean in my
opinion is the light blue one. It's the bigger of the two and is more level. It also has
the airlock, where you can hatch eggs naturally if you can get the girls to lay them
there. You can drain the water in the airlock so the eggs will hatch and your baby won't
drown. I prefer picking them up and putting them in the incubator still. ^_^
We have the MerNorns in
one simple, easy to install package! Just unzip these to a
folder, click "setup" and Voila!! It looks at the file, and puts the Mers in
their proper folders, with their proper sprites, wherever they may be on your computer!
This is all you need... isn't it nice? ^_^

Not much here yet, but I kinda
slapped these on here so there'd be something to play with. I'll add more in a day or so.
^_^
Undersea Cobs!
As an added bonus, here's just a few (okay,
several) cobs to go with your new
MerNorns!
(Please do not post any of these cobs to your page without first getting proper
permissions from their creators.)

A natural underwater plant for your MerNorns to eat. Healthy and
nutritious! |

Neptune's
Womb V.2.1 |
This is an underwater incubator. Great for hatching eggs, then putting
the resulting baby where ever you want it. |

By Jay Dino |
Zummy
Fish |
This fish is a lot like the Zander fish, only more appealing and easier
to stock oceans with. These hatch quickly, and during any season. |

By Jay Dino |
Flood Volcano
V.1.3 |
This great new cob gives you a whole new water area for your MerNorns!
This cob injects a flood into the Volcano, rendering it inactive and radiation-free. The
still bubbling lava does, however, keep the Norns relatively comfortable in their warm,
volcanic sea. If you plan to use this, you may want to replace your Grendel genome with
this amphibious Grendel genome by Lis Morris!! This'll keep
your newborn Grendels from drowning when they enter the volcano area beneath their nest.
Just put this new gen into your genetics folder. |

Neptune's
Undertow V.1.2 |
This wonderful teleporter will transport your Norns around the world
via various underwater portals. Perfect for allowing your MerNorns the opportunity to
explore places they normally couldn't access. |

By Jay Dino |
Steamer Pack |
This is an all new cob from Jay Dino! It provides you with a launcher
that shoots eggs which produce tiny crabs for your Mers to eat! Not only that, it includes
a steamer so that you can cook various critters and give your other Norns a tasty snack to
munch! |

Edible Goldfish
Patch |
This patch will make the goldfish in your Albia edible! Now they'll be
chock full of protien and vitamins for healthier, happier MerNorns. |

Water Carrots |
These carrots will actually grow underwater, giving your MerNorns yet
another source of nourishment in the normally barren oceans. |

Droppin |
Cheese Spitting
Anemone |
This anemone will spit out a piece of cheese every couple seconds. It
is activated and deactivated by the hand. You probably don't want to leave this on too
long, least you have a hoard of cheese. |

By Rick Krebs
and J. Vara |
Water Doozies |
These ingenious little creatures wander the ocean bottom, deftly
cleaning up all the detritus left by those messy little MerNorns. They also squawk a word
every time they are pushed. |

By Jay Dino
and J. Vara |
Tiger Fish |
This is a brand new fish for your MerNorns! These Tiger Fish hatch in
the winter and mature near springtime. And due to their large size, it take two bites to
finish them off! |

By Ali Maggs
and J. Vara |
Porcupine Puffer
Fish |
This brand new puffer fish does its best to protect the Norns of albia,
both on the land and in the ocean. These cunning little puffers can actually tell the
difference between a drowning Norn, and a Norn that breathes water naturally. |

By Ali Maggs
and J. Vara |
Angel Fish |
This new fish hatches in the spring. They're a lot like Zander fish. |

By Helen
and NORNGod |
Undersea Ledge |
This wonderful ledge flattens out the floor of the dark sea! A must for
MerNorn lovers! |

By Lis Morris |
Norn Ball |
Extremely useful! Click on it and it will wrap itself around
suffocating Norns! Great for land-trapped Mers or drowning Norns. :) |

By derk5482 |
Sea Horse |
This wondererful cob was sent to me by derk5482. This is a launcher that spits out
golden Sea Horse eggs. These eggs will only hatch in the spring time... eggs
launched in any other season will disappear. Adult Sea Horses are edible and Norns
seem to love them! |
| More to come... |
Closing words..
Thanks go out to the Beta
testers - Emily Sachs (Emy), Tracy (Spoon), Ashley Harman (Frimlin), and Carolyn Horn!
Thanks for the help, guys! And yes, the babies stayed land-based only. ^_^
Also, special thanks to Emy on the original 565 conversions of
the sprites, and to Frimlin, who's blue Tarn Norn provided the model which I based my
sprites upon. ^_^
Another thanks to those who have provided and/or are working on
new undersea cobs for the MerNorns! I look forward to seeing them! |
