Siren ingenuity

Green coloration

Sirens are creatures native to Kul Tiras. With their enchanting voices and songs, they lure sailors into shipwrecks to devour them. Intelligent enough to build small camps, they utilize their thralls as labor. Siren elders are known as "sisters". They are bigger, smarter, and stronger than younger sirens. Their voices carry far out to sea and bring in all the big "catches".

The tidesage Brother Joseph can summon sirens to help him.

Notes and trivia

• In Zandali, sirens are called bwon'tulak, or "death singers". Though they are not found on Zandalar, Zandalari sailors do know about them.
• According to Wayne the Ancestral, the Enchanting Siren was once a young human maiden who fell into the sea alongside a leering idol and was subsequently transformed.
• Sirens use the wind serpent animation skeleton.
• In Greek mythology, Sirens were dangerous creatures resembling winged women who lured nearby sailors with their enchanting music and singing voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast of their island.
  • The names of several sirens in Battle for Azeroth are derived from the names of the mythological Sirens: Ligeia (Lugeia), Molpe (Nolpe), Parthenope (Patheope), and Teles (Teres). Anthemusa is a reference to the name given to the island of the Sirens in some versions of the Greek myth. Song Mistress Dadalea's name is similar to another figure from Greek mythology, the inventor Daedalus. Inaras seems to be an exception to this, as her name is most similar to the Hittite–Hurrian goddess Inara.
  • Before Battle for Azeroth introduced the siren race, naga would often be used as a reference to the Greek sirens, such as the naga sirens from Warcraft III or Ophelia in  [30-35] Siren's Song.
