Characteristics

Sirens are monsters encountered at sea with the appearance of beautiful women, much like their mythological namesake. They have light skin, long blonde hair, and pointed ears, as well as sharp fangs. Sirens wear gold chokers, green bracelets, and orange mermaid dresses with green and white diamond patterns on the bodice and ending in a star-shaped skirt. Sirens have six white wands tipped with crystals of different colours floating around them and a blue eye-shaped orb that floats above their head, which they use to attack. They use their voluptuous bodies to charm unsuspecting sailors and have a tendency to increase their Tension to dangerous amounts.

Trivia

• In Greek mythology, sirens were dangerous creatures that have the appearance of beautiful women. They could lure nearby sailors with the sound of their enchanting voice and cause them to shipwreck on rocks at sea. During the time of the ancient Greeks, sirens were mostly depicted as large birds with the heads of women and occasionally played musical instruments such as harps or lyres. However, during medieval times, the image of a siren as having some fish-like features like a mermaid became popularised. In fact, in many Romance languages such as Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese, the word sirena is used to refer to both mermaids and sirens.
