Can all merpeople in your setting change their tails to legs or is Markus just a special case?

Markus definitely is not the only one, it entirely depends on a merfolk's lineage :))

Merfolk are capable of having children with humans, witches, and the like; a good chunk of the current merfolk population worldwide is a hybrid of sorts. It's up to the genetic lottery to allow these hybrids two forms they can swap between, bc if both parents have the fish gene, regardless of what they are, there's a chance that child will just be a full merm

That is to say that full merfolk can still access land and acquire legs, just through unconventional means ^^ with the help of charms, spells, or the aid of a witch, they can temporarily walk on land (although they may have some issue adjusting to their new legs lol)

Y'all remember punnet squares from high school science class, right??? Drew up this example with Markus and another fish of mine, Cherry :))
