Siren warriors are a scrappy bunch. With little in the way of training, equipment and skills, they use what they have to survive and take down prey.
Tactics[edit]
Siren warriors prefer to attack in concert and concentrate on weak-looking prey. If the situation looks grim, they will retreat. If they attack a boat, this means simply jumping back overboard. Typically, they attack under cover of night or during a storm or rain.
They may simply try to sink small boats and attack their prey once the ship is waterlogged.
Occasionally a siren warrior will employ trickery and pose as a human before transforming to strike her unaware prey.
Anything that she steals away or isn't using is kept hidden in her lair, often an underwater cave.
