Description
A song of sorrow echoes off the water, one that bewitches the ears of those unlucky enough to hear it. Luring sailors to their death, adding their shiny gold to her collection while eating the poor sods for lunch. Commonly mistaken for a Harpy, the Siren is playful, deceptive, a tease, and most importantly, deadly.
Her method of killing is to keep her hands clean, either by using her bite to paralyze her victims to send them into a peaceful bliss before sinking to the depths or by using her magic to put a crew to sleep before dragging them under. Ships that resist her song end up with a lightning bolt through the bottom of their hull, bringing it and her crew to the bottom of the sea.
Due to her nature, most people mistake her as a mermaid, the difference is that her body is fully covered in scales, unlike typical mermaids who are half fish, and half woman. She will use this to play as a mermaid in distress to weasel out of situations or manipulate pesky adventurers to kill her competition, Harpies. As both of these creatures use similar methods of getting food.
Her nature typically shuns her from society, making her existence rather lonely. Some Sirens yearn for company or have underlings to do her dirty work. Creatures such as Sahaguin or Merrow are attracted to her thanks to her music, while some learned how to convert sailors into sea spawns or use necromancy to make drowned warriors to guard her. Whatever the case may be, all who follow her, practically worship her, feeding into something she will never satiate.
