Mas questão se complica mais que isso.
Ok "The Soul Cages" é baseado nesse conto alemão, "Der Wassermann und der Bauer", que por sua vez é similar a várias outras narrativas de diversos países, como histórias com o Vodník tcheco, ou o Vodyanoy russo, o Bolotyanik da Ucrânia, etc

Vodník is the Czech/Slovak version of vodyanoy, a male water spirit. Vodník looks like a human, wears clothes, and can survive outside water with his clothes wet. He tricks and drowns people, then he keeps their souls in teacups underwater.

Russians call him vodyanoy (водяно́й). To the Czechs he is Vodník. To the Germans Nix or Wassermann.

He's often described as an old man with greenish hair and covered in algae, and sometimes black scales.

Crap, almost forgot to post this!
Mermaid I worked on all may for mermay... with a little vodník (vodyanoy). He's probably something like second cousin's wife's nephew, came to visit the ocean for his summer holidays and she ended up babysitting him.
