Yeah, sea mamonos' ability to live on land is something I have always been curious about... We know Mermaids and Merrows can live on dry land (KC has said that Mermaids can slither like Lamias or use their tails to hop around, and Merrows can't even breathe underwater without their hats), same for Nereids (they polymorph into humans to go husband hunting) and Selkies (can turn into humans too).

I think Umi Oshos can live on dry land too, since turtles breathe air, and Umi Oshos' bodies are mostly human. Otohimes too, since they are a mix of Ryu and Mermaid, and both can live on land... However, Otohimes have important jobs that require them to stay in their underwater cities. Umi Oshos and Sea Bishops too, would have to at least live by the sea, in order to fulfill their duties as sea priestess...

Flow Kelp seem to stay on dry land after marrying, being carried around by their husband, whose body they keep themselves wrapped around at all times...

My doubts are about the Sea Slime, the Scylla, the Kraken, the Charybdys and the Tritonia... I think they SHOULD be able to live on land. I makes for stories more varied and interesting that "the male character is captured while sailing or swimming and is taken underwater forever".

EDIT: Mmmm... the Sea Slime, Charybdys and Tritonia all are considered subspecies of terrestial species... (the common Sllime, the Mimic and the Giant Slug)... Do you think it makes more likely that they have kept the ability to live ondry land just like the parent species?
