In Dungeons & Dragons, sirens are enchanting, aquatic beings often associated with alluring songs and deadly temptations. While not always an official creature in every edition, sirens typically appear as beautiful humanoids, sometimes with merfolk-like traits or ties to fey, celestials, or fiends. Their most iconic ability is their hypnotic voice, capable of charming sailors, adventurers, and even powerful creatures to do their bidding or lead them to their doom.

Depending on the setting, sirens can be benevolent or malevolent. Some are tragic figures cursed to lure others unwillingly, while others are sinister predators who revel in the destruction they cause. In combat, they often use charm-based magic, illusions, and water-based abilities to control the battlefield. Some homebrew or third-party versions expand their capabilities, granting them spellcasting or shapeshifting powers.

Siren lore is influenced by Greek mythology, particularly the sirens of The Odyssey, but D&D interpretations vary widely. Some depictions resemble banshees, haunting coastal areas with their deadly songs, while others are closer to nymphs, embodying the beauty and danger of the sea. They might be found on remote islands, sunken ruins, or within the depths of enchanted waters.

While not a core monster in most D&D editions, sirens have appeared in official and unofficial materials, often adapted as variants of harpies, mermaids, or fey creatures. In Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition, Dungeon Masters often use harpies, sea hags, or custom creatures to represent sirens, adjusting their abilities to fit their specific narrative. Whether as enigmatic guides, tragic figures, or cunning antagonists, sirens offer compelling encounters that blend mystery, danger, and the supernatural allure of the deep.
