Once Wurt makes the Merm King ALL merms are neutral to everyone. So long as you keep the merm king fed, this will remain true forever. It's actually quite powerful. You still need to have at least one Wurt though, as he can only be fed by Mermfolk. If you stockpile Disguises and wrap them though, you could in theory have all the benefits of Wurt with established Craftsmerm Houses & Flortifications so long as you stockpile sufficient disguises, using the lunar portal to change off of Wurt entirey thereafter if you want.

Not that I ever would do such a thing. Adorable Merm girl is great, and one can always use more Marsh turfs & Merms of all flavors. The merm king gives us renewable tentacle spots for petes sake! Wickerbottom mains, meet your new tentacled friend! In all seriousness though, King is very useful when used right, when playing alone you need to use the Portal to get the most out of them, but when playing with friends, it quickly becomes a powerful tool. Also Kelps is good eating for wurt friend!
