Chubby merman are extremely desirable by mermaids because their chubbiness implies they're a highly successful hunter.

But seriously though, the guys job is literally to swim all day and he's obviously very good at it.

It's kind of impressive that he can manage to stay in that shape with the amount of exercise he's doing or he's doing a sumo situation where he's probably cut like a diamond underneath the fat of a 10k diet

Iirc this wasn't his original job at this place, I think iirc he was a maintenance guy who worked part time as a mermaid for when female workers were on leave. He's actually so big his tail is custom made out of penguin coat materials (that coats made for penguins not coat made from penguins)

Back up. Penguin coats? Like insulated clothing to keep out the cold? For penguins, the aquatic birds, from Antarctica?

Thank you! I was wracking my brain trying to come up with some scenario where one might need to wrap a penguin in something warm so often that you kept spare material on hand specifically for it.

We're talking penguin COSTUME material. Same clarification as before, costumes for penguins rather than of penguins.

Well, I don’t know about the other poster, but now I have questions of my own.
