 *Merfolk's unstable nature persists not only across space, but apparently across time as well. In very old versions of the game, cursed boots would prevent them from swimming, as would wearing heavier armour. On the flip side, they used to have above-average HP, and [[spear]]s would be replaced by [[trident]]s in their starting inventory, generally making their game even easier.
