The Silk Siren is characterized by a body half fish and half woman, with blond hair and golden scales; and their human side looks like a very beautiful teenager. Among the Merpeople hierarchy, this race has the task of caring for all fish. Also supposedly helping their siblings to carry the bodies of drowned sailors, toward the Caleuche, for the purpose of reviving the sailors and to be happy. Silk Sirens have very large flukes and strong tails so they can swim long distances while carrying victims of tragedies. It is also said that a Silk Siren's tears are very delicate and, if used in a spell, are very powerful.

Physiology

A cousin race of merpeople they are distinguishable by their golden blonde hair and scales, also unlike merpeople their 'skin' takes on human shades from pale to swarthy though their hair color and scale color is a constant.

Abilities

Mermaid Physiology

Aquatic Adaptation

Silk Sirens are able to survive and adapt to underwater environments, being able to breathe water along with a gaseous breathing medium, to swim well and to endure high water pressure and extreme water temperatures. They are able to use their senses to perceive normally regardless of the distortion/pressure of the water, possibly including ignoring various impurities that would otherwise reduce the visibility.

Pressure Resistance

Silk Sirens as deep water residents are resistant to damage from being crushed, smashed, or flattened especially by under-water pressure that usually if a being goes too deep the weight of the water would crush them.

Speed Swimming

Silk Sirens can swim at incredible speeds, unrestricted by water resistance.

Trivia

• The Silk Siren is based in the Sirena Chilota, from the Chilote mythology.
