Merfolk speak Common and Aquan.

Merfolk often barrage their enemies before closing, when they resort to [[SRD: Trident|Trident]]s. '''Amphibious ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' Merfolk can breathe both air and water, although they rarely travel more than a few feet from the waterβs edge. '''[[SRD:Skills (Creature Statistic)|Skills:]]''' A merfolk has a +8 racial bonus on any [[SRD:Swim Skill|Swim]] check to perform some special action or avoid a hazard. It can always choose to take 10 on a [[SRD:Swim Skill|Swim]] check, even if distracted or endangered. It can use the run action while swimming, provided it swims in a straight line.
