In Dungeons & Dragons, a Cursed Mermaid is a variation of the standard mermaid that has been twisted by dark magic or misfortune. Traditionally, mermaids are depicted as beautiful, humanoid aquatic creatures with the upper body of a woman and the tail of a fish. They are often seen as alluring and sometimes dangerous beings who dwell in the seas, but cursed mermaids are cursed with malevolent traits or physical deformities.

The curse can manifest in various ways, such as turning the mermaid into a monstrous version of her former self, with a more hideous appearance, or changing her demeanor to become more malicious or manipulative. Cursed mermaids might be trapped in an eternal state of sorrow or anger due to an unjust betrayal or an ancient pact with a dark power, which makes them act with malice towards others. These creatures may also possess abilities that reflect the nature of their curse, such as enchanting songs that lures sailors to their doom, or the ability to cause harm with the waters they control.

In gameplay, a Cursed Mermaid could serve as an antagonist in an underwater or coastal campaign, where adventurers must navigate the dangers of the deep and face the mermaid’s dark magic. Players may have to unravel the origins of the curse and find a way to lift it, offering opportunities for both combat and roleplaying. These cursed beings might also be tied to specific locations, such as cursed shipwrecks or underwater ruins, making them integral parts of a campaign's lore and story.
