Mako Pod

A pod is a group of mermaids and/or mermen. In every pod, mermaids who complete their training is granted a moon ring.

There are a hundred mermaids in Lyla's, Sirena's and Nixie's pod and there are other pods around the world as stated by Nixie in the episode "I Don't Believe in Mermaids". The Enchantment Song is forbidden in the girls' pod.

Rita Santos said that eons ago a pod/army of mermen carried the Trident in battle and behaved in a destructive manner until a mermaid from each of the 5 oceans defeated them by drawing on the powers of the oceans and locked it away in the Trident Cave with one of the kinder mermen's help.

With Zac Blakely being a merman, he becomes a temporary member of the little pod formed by Sirena, Nixie and Lyla. While Rita doesn't share their adventures, she is considered part of their pod due to her involvement with the girls in guidance and training.

But now that the mermaid council sees that not all mermen are a threat and can live in peace with mermaids, it is possible many mermen are joining the pods. An example would be Zac Blakley.


Description[]

In every pod, hatchlings who complete their training in Mermaid School are granted a Moon Ring If they are worthy enough and full initiation into the pod. Pods are governed by the Mermaid Council, which consists of elder wiser members. Pods are found worldwide, and all of them practice their own unique types of magic that differ them from one another. Although mermaids usually only have members from pod they were born, outsider mermaids are also welcome to join. Mermaid laws also states in every pod that its members should never walk on land.

Unlike mermaids, mermen are solitary individuals. Their mermaid mothers are forced to cast the forbidden Legs Spell on them, and give them up to be raised by human foster families on land. They have to mingle with land people, go to land school, and don't have pods due to the war that happened long ago. Despite this, before the war, mermaids and mermen were together in the same pod, something impossible in the present day, however, this may not be the law anymore as mermaids now trust the mermen more.

Rules (In mako pod)[]

Every pod has it own set of rules, which is variable between them.

Some of the rules that are found in all pods are the following:

  • It is forbidden to reveal themselves or to associate with land people.
  • It is forbidden to cast the Legs Spell, whether by the Full Moon or by using a Moon Ring.
  • It is forbidden to let human beings go through metamorphosis in a Moon Pool.
  • It is forbidden to fall in love with a land person.
  • It is forbidden to swim too close the shore or where they could be seen.

If a member breaks one of the rules of their pod, the Mermaid Council will strictly punishes the mermaid by banishing her, and she will be forced to live without her people.
