Mermaid Knight

Mermaid Knight, or Meryl as a companion, is a monster in the second part of Monster Girl Quest: Paradox.

Monsterpedia Entry
''“A mermaid warrior who has trained herself in the sword arts. She has an unyielding personality and is always polishing her skills as she seeks strong opponents to challenge. She seems to be the rival of the Harpy Knight, and they frequently engage in friendly sparring matches to test their skills.''

''While she is a warrior in mind, she will also give sexual pleasure to the men who challenge her. If she defeats a man, she will thoroughly play with his genitals before raping him. Her renowned vagina will fill the man with exquisite pleasure, forcing him to dedicate lots of semen to her. Men who are humiliated in this way are then left abandoned on the beach in a state of weakness.”''

Strategy
Can be a bit of a problem when faced during the defense of San Ilia, mostly trivial if faced afterward. She possesses solid party wide water and wind attacks, and since there's a mix of physical and magical in the mix, blinding or silencing her doesn't guarantee she'll stop dishing out damage, even if they reliably connect. Binding or shocking her is more effective.

As all sea monsters, lightning and earth attacks will take her down fast. The former type often have a shock effect that can help should she survive.

Evaluation
"Defeated by a Mermaid Knight... How many more defeats you have to endure until you're satisfied? Mermaid Knight is a mermaid who mainly uses physical skills. Be weary that she can also use Ice and Wind Martial Arts skills. Because she is a Mermaid, she's weak against Thunder and Earth. Bind, Blind and Paralysis work well on her so use them. Now go, oh Brave Luka. Still, for a warrior among monster girls, she seems to mate in a fairly normal way."
