Siren
Sirens are a myth amongst sailors and pirates. Not much is known about sirens as the survivors of their attacks are left mentally unsound, and many people doubt the credibility of these survivor’s recounts. Many people say they are simply nightmares caused by the storms that took the rest of the crew, but others strongly argue the existence of sirens; saying that the stories are too consistent to be coincidence.
They are said to be aquatic shape-shifters and mind-readers who take on the form of their victims loved ones, only shifting back to their true form as they drag their prey down to their deaths.
Their true form is often described as eel or snake-like, but with teeth so long they can’t close their mouths. They have four arms with sharp claws, and blood-stained spikes trailing down their backs. They are said to have many red, glowing eyes that focus on nothing and everything at once.
Siren attacks start with a hummed song that enchants their victims; putting them to sleep where they stand on their ships and then calling them overboard with dream-like whispers. They drag their victims to their deaths, sucking the last breath from their lungs before discarding their dead bodies and disappearing into the deep.
They are said to fear aquatics, who have no breath to steal, and have never been known to attack a boat carrying a valenor.
