Overview
Responding to a cry for help from the mermaids of Andros, the Winx are transformed into mermaids by Ligea to explore the underwater world.

Appearance
The fairies either retain their Winx wings or are granted a new pair. They gain sparkling, flowing tails and either fishnet, fabric, or floral tops. The hair increases in length and is either braided or beaded. Fairies gain various accessories including tiaras, arm cuffs, headbands, fascinators, and headphones.

Requirements
In order to become a mermaid, a fairy must be transformed by a magic spell used by the mermaid queen.
