The siren is a peculiar vision of beauty from the sea. Though her lower body is that of an iridescently scaled fish, it takes away nothing from the rest of her ravishingly feminine figure draped in long, golden blonde hair and surrounded by a mystical aura. Discretely hidden webbing beneath her arms that aids in navigating deep waters has given rise to the erroneous legend that the siren can also fly. The soothing song from these strangely beautiful creatures has pulled many sailors to their deaths, and every moment that the siren gazes at you with her captivating brilliant blue eyes and serenades you with liquid notes from her glistening full lips is a moment that you plunge deeper into danger yourself.
Hunting strategies
Sirens are most dangerous when encountered with other creatures. Lullaby can easily set you up to be killed by a triton radical or a triton combatant. Song of Depression lasts 5 minutes regardless of how badly you fail the warding check and can end a hunt before it even begins. But their most dangerous ability is casting Song of Tonis which makes every creature in the room attack much quicker.
Sirens are not hard to fight by themselves and they are probably the easiest creature to hunt in Nelemar. However, they need to be a priority to stun or kill when in a room with other creatures to prevent them from disabling you or using Song of Tonis. They wear no armor, have no nature resistances, and are not very perceptive which makes them very easy to instantly kill by head ambush. Their Ensnare does terrible damage but they can pick up other weapons left on the ground if you are not careful.
Other information
- Sirens are always female and do not have a left leg or a right leg and are small enough that even Haflings and Gnomes can ambush their heads.
- Spawns holding a small shield. This is either a pearlescent oyster shell shield (2nd floor spawns) or a sienna-banded scallop shell shield (3rd floor spawns). These are small shields made out of bone that weighs 6 pounds. Both are crumbly.
- Does not spawn with a weapon and will try to ensnare players by default. They can and will pick up the weapons of other Nelemar creatures:
A siren snatches up a corroded bronze scaling fork! A siren slings a sienna-banded scallop shell shield over her shoulder. The siren's eyes go wide in fascination as she coos over her new find.
- Sirens spawn with Elemental Defense III (414) already cast.
- Sirens only self-cast their Elemental Defense spells and do so with out a preparation message. Their spellsongs may also be cast without a preparation message.
- Occasionally drops pristine siren's hair.
- Sirens spawn with different hair and eye colors which can be seen in their description and in several of the siren's idle messages.
Possible hair colors:
- golden blonde hair
- rich brown hair
- silky black hair
- warm red hair
Possible eye colors:
- brilliant blue eyes
- light brown eyes
- sparkling green eyes

Fill your days with lyrical lays and dance around you in your dreams..."
