Mer-kin scavenger You're fighting a Mer-kin scavenger

The Mer-kin are a savage race of cunning underwater jerks. Their interests are limited to stealing stuff, stabbing stuff, and being mean to stuff. This one was skulking around the wreckage looking for stuff to steal, but now that you're here, he can indulge his other two interests as well.
