{{spoiler}}
'''Sirens''' are annoying [[monsters]] that attack by singing. Their songs can have a variety of rather dangerous effects, from stealing a valuable [[item]] from [[you]] to making you sleepy (draining your [[stamina]]) or charming your [[pets]] and making them hostilediscussed below, but they only affect creatures in melee range. They As sirens are, however, very fragile and cowardly, they can be dispatched easily from afar with a [[Throwing|thrown weapon]] or an attack [[wand]] - even a single hit will likely sever a limb and/or cause [[Panic]].
Sirens are associated with [[Dulcis]] and are considered elves, as their bodies are made of [[Material|elven flesh]]. As Be aware that elven flesh causes [[confusion]], so it's not recommended to eat a dead siren.

== Siren Songs ==
When a siren sings, she attempts to affect one creature in melee range with a special effect. The song can be resisted with [[Willpower]], with the difficulty set by the siren's [[Charisma]] - which is unfortunately quite high, so the chance to resist is not great unless you wear a highly enchanted [[Helmets|Helmet of Indomitable Will]].
The following effects can be caused by a siren's song:
* The song makes you sleepy (draining your [[stamina]]). This is '''EXTREMELY DANGEROUS''', as low stamina will lead to unconsciousness, and then the siren or any other monsters around will slowly beat you to death 1 [[HP]] at a time as you sit and watch helplessly. If you are already Exhausted, do not approach a siren under any circumstances, or she might knock you out with a single song. While not exhausted, a single song will not drain all of your stamina, but try not to let yourself be hit with a sleepy song twice in a row.
* The siren steals your most valuable [[item]]. This is not limited to the items in your inventory, your equipment can be stolen right off your body! If you have a good [[armor]], for example, the siren will strip you, which can lead to swift death if any other [[monster]]s capable of dealing damage are around. As sirens always steal the most expensive item you have, carrying around an item with a higher [[Money|price]] than your body armor will make sure that your armor is not stolen immediately.
* Any of your [[pets]] can be tamed by the siren, making them hostile to you. If you have very powerful pets, such as [[angel]]s gifted to you by your [[god]], make sure the siren does not get to them!
