Fish-Men

Fishmen are one of two species that dominate the seas (the other being the Merfolk).

Appearance
Appearance-wise, they are more "fish-like" than merfolk, looking like a cross between a man and a fish of the ocean such as an octopus, manta ray, or sawfish; however, they still have legs.

Statistics

 * Japanese Name: 魚人
 * Romanized Name: Gyojin
 * Translated Name: Fishmen
 * Dub Name: Mermen
 * Home island: Fishman Island

Inter-species Relationships
Their view of life under the sea is dominated by their views that they should rule over all other fish in the sea. Despite this view, usually they get along well with the Merfolk who share the opposite view on life, however it is not unknown for Fishmen to take advantage of the Merfolk's nature.

A typical Fishman (although this does not apply to all Fishmen) considers humans an inferior, weaker species. Because of their strength, they appear in One Piece on a regular basis.

Overall Strength
They are twice as strong as a human on land, and ten times stronger underwater.

Trivia

 * Even though fishmen are part fish, they are still mammals and give birth to live young.
 * The kanji for Fishmen (魚人) is the reverse of the name for Mermen (人魚).
 * They are often incorrectly referred to by fans, and the English dub made by 4Kids, as Mermen.
