Theory: symbiotic relationship. mermaids produce excessive milk at all life stages so the starfish drink it making the starfish well feed and the mermaid milked (which is important in over production of milk)
You are welcome.
I decided unilaterally that this is canon. Bring in the lorebooks gents we got some corrections and addendums to make.
Edit: wait so we stabilised that mermaids are ovviviparrous and mammals, like a platipus? The evolution tree needs a few reconsiderations maybe
I always figured mermaids would be more like cetaceans than fish. Having scales on their tails would be inaccurate, but breathing air, growing hair, and having a horizontal tail fluke are all in-line with mammals/cetaceans.
Not to mention, it would mean mermaids would have regular genitals (albeit hidden inside a genital fold, to increase hydrodynamics.) It would also mean they’d have normal placental pregnancies.
So that’s, uhh… a thing to consider.
This may very well be the weirdest comment I've ever upvoted
I'm glad to be of service.
Umm man had sex with a fish and some very very unlikely offsprings endedup being the humans of the sea and so they dominating it.
What evolution do you need?
Alternate Theory: Mermaid babies look like starfish. That "bra" is actually the normal process for mermaids to carry and feed their young.
