The Zombie Merman is a pre-Hardmode enemy that can be spawned by fishing in a Blood Moon. When the bobber dips and the player attempts to reel in a fish, a Zombie Merman or a Wandering Eye Fish has a chance to spawn within a few tiles of the bobber in place of a fish.
It is one of the few entities that can be detected by the Lifeform Analyzer or its upgrades.

Tips[]
- The Sonar Potion will detect if a Blood Moon enemy like the Zombie Merman is about to be hooked.
- Using the Chum Caster will greatly increase the chances of hooking Blood Moon enemies.
- The Zombie Merman has high health and defense, moves very quickly, and does not take knockback, making it a challenging enemy for underpowered characters.
- It is very agile while in water, making it hard to deal with. Players can build a layer of platforms above their fishing spot to prevent the Zombie Merman from entering the water in the first place.
- The Zombie Merman is a great way of progressing in the early game as it can drop useful items.
Trivia[]
- The Zombie Merman Banner is the last item in alphabetical order out of all the items in Terraria.
- It resembles both the Icy Merman and the Merfolk form that the player can achieve by equipping the Neptune's Shell (or its derivative accessories) in water.
- The
Bestiary entry for the Zombie Merman: "Mermen may be rare and exotic demi-humans, but they can still die... and still come back from that a changed merman."
