The notorious Siren of Voi'Runil is said to be a monster that lurks the blackened waters that taint the land and seas of the planet. Known for their beautiful singing that allures the weak into total submission, the Sirens are an long-lasting rival to the Forduni people who have braved the aggression of monsters for many centuries by now.

The origins of the Siren are somewhat of a mystery with two equally possible theories as to how they have come to be. The first is based on long abandoned ruins under the sea floor of Voi'Runil that indicate a Lamia Kingdom once present on the planet that has long since fallen to the influence of the Cosmos, transforming its denizens into the Sirens. The second theory is that they are Forduni who have fallen into the black, oily waters present in the land, causing their bodies to permanently fuse with the ooze and transform them into ever-living monsters. Both theories have some degree of merit to them and it is highly possible that both are true at the same time as Sirens have been observed living in the aforementioned ruins from time to time, which is also where a select few of them gather. Furthermore, they prey on the Forduni by subjugating their minds and lowering them into the maw of their ooze-like bottom halves, the fate of those caught in their trap is to be transformed into Sirens themselves.

Abilities

Sirens use guile to stay hidden in the water until a lone traveler comes near them enough that they may unleash their spell-work on them. A Siren uses the beauty of a naked humanoid figure alongside a mind-numbing song to cause their prey to submit to the Siren's will and lower themselves into his or her grasp. Not all encounters with Sirens are lethal as some of them simply use their ooze-like tentacles to suck upon the life force of their prey, draining them to the brink of death and mental exhaustion before returning them to land, others fully devour their prey and fuse their bodies with the black ooze, ultimately turning them into Sirens through a painful process that breaks and twists their bodies.

The ultimate counter to a Siren is to have a strong enough willpower to resist their mental manipulation all together and strike them down before they can get their tentacles around you. Some Sirens are skilled in the use of Magic and are able to attack back when faced with powerful enough foes but for the most part Sirens are left defenseless against those immune to their charm, often forcing them to retreat if not killed fast enough. The upper-body of a Siren is covered in many monstrous eyes that emit the magical energies that numb and subjugate one's mind so if they were to be harmed or blinded, the spell upon someone's mind is also broken.

Physical Appearence

Sirens are described by the Forduni as "half-Humanoid, half-abomination". Their upper bodies are often nude human-like creatures in appearance with blue, pink or purple skin most commonly. Glowing eyes cover their upper body.

The bottom half of a Siren's body is often concealed under the surface of the water they sit in. It is a mass of cursed black ooze that reach out in the form of tendrils. A hidden maw is present underneath the mass that can devour any living being whole and imprison them inside to be harvested or transformed. This maw has a row of soft black teeth around the opening.
