The tag alias #71238 octomaid -> cecaelia is pending approval.

Reason: Octomaid is another term for cecaelia, per the cecaelia wiki page

should this imply merfolk?

Term used for both mermaid and mermen, but also any other mer-being. A mermaid is a legendary aquatic creature traditionally seen with the upper body of a human and a fish's tail for a lower body.

On e621, this term is also used to describe several creatures beyond that initial definition, including:

• Beings with an anthro's torso and a fish's tail
• Beings with other forms of aquatic life as their lower half (for example, octopus, jellyfish)
• Fish anthros, where the upper half is humanoid and the lower half is fishlike. (A fish naga, if you will)
