We've met four of her kind, and they've been shown to have special abilities and a unique history and culture.

But what should we call the page? Unnamed species (The Rings of Akhaten)? But there's plenty of unnamed species in that episode! I don't think it's our business to have a single page for every single species seen in this episode. We simply would have no way to distinguish between them, because they're all "unnamed species (The Rings of Akhaten)".

But because there are so many, "unnamed species (The Rings of Akhaten)" couldn't be used for Merry's species, because the phrase superficially means tons of different species.

So I say we should pull a trick that Memory Alpha occasionally use and, in this instance, name the species after the individual. I say we just go with Merry's species.
