Siren

## Appearance and Physical Traits

Sirens are an all female species of monster who have sharp pointed teeth, fins for eyebrows, bright red gills that frill out of the neck, webbed fingers with little claws, and blue skin with thick wavy yellow stripes that extended to their legs, their toes are also webbed.

Their eyes are yellow and they have both a vertical inner eyelid and a horizontal outer one.  Additionally their eyesight is poor out of the water as they are unable to see without a layer of seawater for which they use special watertight goggles when on land to compensate. When submerged in salt water their skin produces a clear slime coating to aid in swimming.

As Sirens age their hair turns "lawn green", they darken a little and get scalier.

When on land they need to sleep in a filled bathtub or else their skin will dry out.

They smell like the ocean.

## Socio-Cultural Characteristics

Sirens live together in big clans with Gill-men, the Sargasso family being one of the larger ones in the Southland.

They have there own religion honoring Dagon and the various creatures from the deep who will eventually emerge and devour the surface world, with the orthodox ones refusing to celebrate other holidays like Christmas. They have hymns about invoking an "ancient power beneath the waves" that will rise and consume the world, but they don't sound right out of the water due to the different acoustics and most humans who hear them call them ‘sanity-blasting".

When they want to change someone they (or a gill-man if they want to turn a guy) will bring them out in to open water in a religious ceremony called the “Dedication to Dagon".

Sirens like to live on the coast or next to artificial bodies of water and as such use rivers as there main way of getting around on land.

Their diets involve a lot of fish and fish products like garum or specially made pastry's topped in raw fish.
