Other pristine siren's hair

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. Most dangerous of all, they like to cast Song of Tonis which makes every creature in the room attack much faster.

Sirens are not hard to fight by themselves and they are probably the easiest creature to hunt in Nelemar. But they need to be a priority to stun or kill when they enter a room with other creatures to prevent them from disabling you or using Song of Tonis. They wear no armor and have no nature armor 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
