Slithery Mermaid & Lamia Tails
Retextures the mermaid and lamia tails (vanity items) to look bigger, sturdier and more slithery.
The original mermaid and lamia tails I use a lot, but they are pretty small and I feel like they aren’t quite supporting the player character at times, so I’ve always wanted to make some sort of tweak to them. Many revisions were made to get to this final release, but I’m quite happy with the result!
If you’re looking for a similar retexture of the Capricorn tail, I’ve got a pack for that too.

If you’re using Zilem’s Slim Terrarian player model, here’s a specific compatibility pack for that (including the Capricorn Snake Tail):

Make sure you place the compatibility pack above Zilem’s!
The mermaid tail comes in the form of the mermaid vanity set, which consists of a headpiece, a chestpiece and the leggings. The mermaid tail is the leggings piece.
You get every single piece at once as a random reward from the angler NPC, for giving him quest fish. The angler is found sleeping on either edge of the map, and running back and forth usually gets him to spawn if he isn’t there at first. You can then give him the fish he asks for once per day for rewards. Getting the mermaid outfit is pure luck from here.
The lamia tail has a vanity set as well, but you get the different pieces individually. You have to basically defeat a lot of Lamias, enemies found when you’ve activated hardmode. Hardmode activates when you defeat a boss in the underworld, and is simply part of the game progression, not another game mode.
Lamias reside in the underground desert biome, in dark and light forms, but it doesn’t matter which you kill. It takes a fair bit of luck to get the vanity pieces to drop though, as the drop rate is 0.56% for the light lamias and 0.83% for the dark lamias. So it is better to farm the dark lamias, who spawn in corrupted underground deserts.
Lastly, if you notice anything that can be improved in the animation, go ahead and tell me!
