<span style="color: #3598db;"><strong>Mythical Creatures</strong>:</span>

<span style="color: #c2e0f4;"><strong>🧜 Mermaids</strong></span>

<span style="color: #c2e0f4;">After spending a couple seconds in the water, you'll transform into a Mermaid, growing a tail and gaining increased swim speed, water breathing, and night vision while underwater. Once you return to land, your legs regenerate and the tail disappears (can be modified via config). Custom Mermaid NPCs spawn out in the oceans, and dedicated cosmetics like tails, ear fins, and seashell tops let you customize your look.</span>

<span style="color: #c2e0f4;"><strong>🐺 Werewolves</strong></span>

<span style="color: #c2e0f4;">Werewolves transform based on the time of day: by default, you'll turn into a Werewolf at night and return to human form once daytime arrives, with both the day and night transformation times fully configurable by admins. Alternatively, admins can switch to a potion-only mode, where you'll only transform by drinking a Werewolf Potion (small and medium potions grant a temporary transformation, while the large potion grants a permanent transformation during the night) or by carrying a Moon Charm, which draws on the moon's power at night to trigger the change. Admins can also disable Werewolf transformations during specific moon phases (Full Moon, Waxing Gibbous, First Quarter, Waxing Crescent, New Moon). Players can toggle their own ability to transform on or off, and choose from multiple Werewolf models through the in-game Werewolf UI, including additional models unlocked through compatible add-on mods.</span>

<span style="color: #c2e0f4;"><strong>🧛 Vampires</strong></span>

<span style="color: #c2e0f4;">Vampires can transform in one of two modes, set by admins: always remain in Vampire form, or only transform at night (or by drinking a Vampire Potion). Like the Werewolf potions, small and medium Vampire Potions grant a temporary transformation while the large potion grants a permanent one. Players can toggle their own Vampire transformation on or off, and customize their Vampire's eye color through the dedicated Vampire UI.</span>

<span style="color: #c2e0f4;">Through the <a style="color: #c2e0f4;" href="https://patreon.mermaids.dev/" target="blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Mermaids Premium</a> addon, you can add custom <a style="color: #c2e0f4;" href="https://www.curseforge.com/hytale/mods/endlessleveling" target="blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Endless Leveling</a> races for all three mythical creatures that unlock unique race variations as you progress.</span>
