Pharaohs

Is the pharaoh a pharaoh, a pharaoh, a phalaron? Creatures from Russian folklore. These are the cursed dead people with a deaf and hoarse magical voice, who are destined to remain in the guise of half-humans and half-fish until the end of the world.

According to a legend known since the XVI century, they descended from the Egyptians who drowned in the Red Sea while chasing the troops of the "Pharaoh fierce" for Moses and the Jews during Exodus. Their horses turned into half-horses, half-fish.

According to the description, they are closest to Western European mermaids.
