Furthermore, fish-men can sometimes demonstrate powers usually unique to merfolk, such as Jinbe's ability to communicate with whale sharks.Įven with merfolk and fish-men in the same immediate family, the primary species (merfolk or fish-men), subspecies (type of fish) and appearances may differ drastically. There are many merfolk who bear physical traits normally unique to fish-men, like Den's webbed hands and Shyarly's fangs. At least one fish-man, Jinbe, has the ability to talk to other animals such as whales, showing that a fish-man's larynx may be far more adaptable and capable of more than a human's.

Depending on species, they may have multiple limbs (mainly extra arms). They also have gills between their shoulders and necks, sometimes covered by their clothing, as well as often having webbed hands.
