Alltides / Atlantis
A secretive merrow colony built in the Atlantic ocean, from the scavenged ruins of submerged human settlements and more recent pilfered materials. While their colony possesses a darkname, they refer to the colony by its human-given name, and to themselves as "Atlanteans", rather than their original clan name of Tidefollow. Most Atlantean merrows seem to favor their land-morphed form within the colony, but their scouts don the typical tailed shape when they venture out into the oceans.
Deepbright
A colony built in tunnels underneath the areas where the Soviet Union contaminated the land with nuclear tests and accidents. Their major clan is the Groundclaws, descendants of Queen ???'s suicide terrain saboteurs, who unexpectedly went from a dying pod barely hanging on through natural radioactivity, to having an abundance of food through humans' atomic discoveries and disasters.
Steelbones / Crithania
A merrow colony built in the wreck of a luxury liner, the Lady Crithania. Their clan names itself Steelbones, after their colony's darkname, but their clan name's human version is thought-translated to "Crithanian".
