>Legs on a girl that normally has a tail and "breathes" water implies some sort of major shapeshifting magic, whether temporary or permanent.
Or she has both, because it's fantasy, and doesn't have to adhere to real world biology or evolution because the gods are real and divine creation exists.
>Learning to walk on legs, to use lungs instead of gills, and so on, is quite a lot to get used to.
Unless such a species is amphibious. Or you know, divine creation.
>Unless it's for long-term landlubbing, I don't see why anyone would bother to endure all this.
Because they aren't enduring anything.
>More important is how she solved the air-breathing problem
Amphibious creatures due to divine creation.
>Unless it's simply magicked away (boring)
No, boring is making FANTASY races adhere to REAL WORLD biology.
>Skin would also need protection, as it would suffer considerable damage from drying up
Divinely created so that it naturally hydrates itself.
>I'm not saying there can't be a shark girl in a party, or as an NPC loitering in town, but it would require some serious explanation as to why she's there.
The gods created merfolk to survive on land or in water.
