A mermaid: can swim. can survive underwater. has a head, a couple of arms, and a torso. is omnivorous. is female. can pick up weapons and food. has infravision. can be seen through infravision.

A mermaid has a special "siren song" attack which she will deploy under the same circumstances that a mind flayer will use its psychic blast attack. When initiated, “You hear the wild singing of a mermaid.” If a random number between 0 and the mermaid's level is greater than 1/3 of your Charisma, then: if you are male, “You are irresistibly drawn to [the mermaid]’s side!” (teleports hero to a square next to the mermaid, even on a no-teleport level); if you are not male, you are stunned for 1d10 and confused for 2d10 turns.

A giant clam: can swim. can survive underwater. is an animal. does not eat. (*)

When killed, there is a 1/4 chance that a giant clam will drop a pearl, unless it has been revived or is a polymorphed monster from a polymorph trap, in which case it has only a 1/20 chance of leaving one.
