	The siren first appeared in [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]] as the ''Sirine''; a [[nymph]] with a deep spiritual connection to the sea. Described as often having yellow-green, green or blue skin and silver or dark green hair, they are an isolationist and contemplative species, caring for little more than to find themselves a secluded den close to the sea or on the sea where they can sit, think and sing. They want nothing from society and contribute nothing to it, except maybe misery by their lashing at out people who disturb them. They can cast Charm Person 1/day via their song, causing it to affect every listener within 30 feet, and can use fog cloud, polymorph self, and improved invisibility 1/day each; all of their spell-like abilities are cast as if by an 11th level [[mage]]. They can also reduce anyone foolish enough to let them touch them to babbling imbeciles, dropping their [[Intelligence]] down to 2.

	==~~=Thylean Sirens=~~==		==Odyssey of the Dragonlords==
	In the [[Odyssey of the Dragonlords]] setting, sirens are a tragic race of coastal bird-people, looking like humans (both female and male) with wings with scaled limbs that end in prehensile talons. Believed to be descended from a [[Nymph\|nereid]] who fell in love with an avian [[celestial]], sirens are not amphibious, but are well-adapted for living in and around water. Their artworks, poetry and architecture emphasize their special releationship with both the clouds above and the sea below. Once, sirens dwelled in a great and beautiful city, where they spent their days singing praises to Sydon, the Titan who governs the ocean. Unfortunately Sydon is a vindictive, vainglorious prick who is never satisfied; he chastised the sirens as vain, selfish and hubristic for daring to build tall towers and to offer him songs instead of blood sacrifices, an act that shocked and mortified the sirens so badly that their entire city crumbled into nothingness and was swallowed by the sea. Many of the sirens went mad, and were corrupted by Sydon's sister-wife into the bloodthirsty [[harpy\|harpies]] that now bedevil the coast. The survivors still dwell in small flocks along the shoreline, afflicted with a racial curse of manic-depression as a result of Sydon's pointless cruelty. One day, a siren may experience extremes of joy and hope - only to then fall into soul-crushing sorrow and pessimisim as she succumbs to the grief planted in her very soul.

	===Vodari ~~Sirens=~~==		==Seas of Vodari==
	In the [[Seas of Vodari]], sirens more closely resemble the old sirines of AD&D; incredibly beautiful amphibious humanoid [[fey]] with golden or amber eyes, light blue to deep indigo hair, greenish blue to turquoise iridescent skin, fins on their calves and forearms, webbed hands and feet, and gills in their necks. Once native to the [[Feywild\|Feylands]], sirens were stranded on Vodari after their vain queen agreed to a singing contest with an [[archfey]] named Muse, who wagered the eternal banishment of the loser and her people on the outcome, and then ''cheated''. Ever since, they have been trapped in the mortal world, where they live in small, tightly knit coastal communities that follow a loose matriarchy - it's implied but never explicitly stated that there are male and female sirens on Vodari.

	==Pathfinder==		=Pathfinder=
	In [[Pathfinder]], the Siren is a distant relative of the [[Harpy]], appearing as a huge female bird of prey with the head of a gorgeous human woman. They are natural [[oracle]]s and wield powerful enchantment spells through their voices. Being all-female like their man-eating cousins, they need to grab human men to procreate; unlike their harpy kindred, sirens are actually a very devoted and loving race. Yes, they will kidnap potential husbands in addition to just trying to seduce or rescue-romance them - they're Chaotic Neutral, after all - but they treat them well and fall very deeply in love. So much so that they've been known to commit ''suicide'', or outright ''die of heartbreak'', if the man they have their eyes on is stolen away or resists their charms. They have a very powerful magical song that can be used to captivate, fascinate, charm or put to sleep those who hear them, can use the Bardic Performance ability of a 4th-level [[Bard]], and can cast Cause Fear, Charm Person, Deep Slumber and Shout as spell-like abilities, each one being usable thrice per day.

	Naturally, the siren has appeared as a monstergirl in many, many depictions. That said, they're usually just portrayed as either mermaids or harpies with [[bard]]-like magical powers; even the [[Monster Girl Encyclopedia]] settled for just depicting its siren as a pop idol-themed [[harpy]].
