Lorelai

Lorelai is an enemy in Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia. She is a nymph whose voice and beauty lures victims to a watery grave.
==Origins==
The Lorelei is steep slate rock on the right bank of the River Rhine at Sankt Goarshausen in Germany. The name comes from the old German words lureln, Rhine dialect for "murmuring", and the Celtic term ley, "rock". The translation of the name would therefore be "murmuring rock". The heavy currents and a small waterfall in the area create a murmuring sound, which is amplified by the special echo the rock produces, giving the rock its name.
The rock and the murmur it creates have inspired various tales. The 1801 ballad, Zu Bacharach am Rheine, by German author Clemens, tells the story of an enchanting female associated with the rock. In the poem, the beautiful Lore Lay, betrayed by her sweetheart, is accused of bewitching men and causing their death. Rather than sentence her to death, the bishop consigns her to a nunnery. On the way there, accompanied by three knights, she comes to the Lorelei rock. She asks permission to climb it and view the Rhine one last time. She does so, and, thinking that she sees her love in the Rhine, falls to her death; the rock ever afterward retaining an echo of her name.
In 1824, the famous poem Die Lorelei by Heinrich Heine describes the eponymous female as a sort of siren who, sitting on the cliff above the Rhine and combing her golden hair, unwittingly distracted shipmen with her beauty and song, causing them to crash on the rocks.
==Description==
Lorelai appears as a mixture of a mermaid and an angler fish, with a female-like torso serving as bait to lure victims in so the fish can devour them. The creature's bright red underside acts as the mermaid's tail. When idle, the main body of the fish is rendered semi-transparent, giving the impression of being just a mermaid swimming around. Upon approach, the fish will either lunge forward or attack by spewing an icy breath.
Lorelai drops Merman Meat, although at 1% drop rate chance it's one of the most difficult items to get in the game. Once obtained, it can be brought back to Abram in order to complete the "Unusual Medicine Components" quest, which adds Super Potions to Jacob's shop.
