Banshees

Banshees are humans born with the supernatural mutation of an enhanced vocal range along with enhanced senses. They can focus their voices into a scream which can stun enemies or even kill them if focused enough. Sirens, a variation of the Banshee, sing and lure their enemies closer so that they can feast on them in cannibalistic fashion. The offspring of a banshee are born banshees, just as the offspring of a siren are born sirens. Both always bear female children.
Due to the problem with Sirens, Banshees are often lumped into the 'hostile creature' group and hunted by the Vigilant Order and other hunting groups. The general public vilifies them, so they are often found deep in the wilderness alone. It is said that Banshees are able to forsee someone's death, and warn against it. This has been proven true on a few occasions, as some friendly adventurers and hunters have narrowly dodged gruesome deaths thanks to the supernatural forsight of a banshee.
Banshees and Sirens can be killed easily with golden weapons and bullets, but can also be burned alive. Banshees themselves can be drowned too, but sirens are semi-aquatic and cannot. Magic is effective against both.
