Water Fae who are extremely loyal to Mami Wata.

They have a strong influence on African Folklore and are usually associated with Mami Wata.

They resemble mermaids, with yellow and green hair. Their fish tails are mostly silver, reflecting the colours found in the water they swim in.

They smile a lot. They have gaps between their front teeth. They also like to giggle.

Mostly they talk in their own language that involves a lot of clicking noises, like the noise made by crab claws or insects.

They have power over water. They can make it move in whatever way they wish.

They will ally themselves with anyone who protects Nature – and especially those who go up against the Obayifo.
