Natural-born mermaids are born with all mermaid powers, including some that human-turned-merperson do not possess. However, natural or sea-born mermaids need to be taught how to summon and use these powers. Sickness can mess with their abilities and they may channel their powers through their sneezes or other symptoms.

However, they were naturally afraid of fire, though this could be interpreted as a fear of any forms of general warmth, which can cause them to dry out. This can be noted by mermaids fleeing Blackbeard’s Greek fire as well as legends of the Jungle Pools.

As we all know, mermaids have the human half on top and the fish part on the bottom (though some wish it was the other way around). While they may be classified as mammals, not all mammals give birth to live young.

A mermaid is a mythical sea-dwelling creature, often described as having the head and body of a woman and a fish’s tail below the waist. Stories of mermaids have existed for thousands of years and span cultures across the world – from coastal settlements in Ireland to the landlocked Karoo desert in South Africa.

In other traditions, mermaids can be benevolent or beneficent, giving gifts or falling in love with humans. Tales are often recounted in which mermaids save men who have been shipwrecked and bring them safely to shore.

Today, Sirens are almost always represented as voluptuous mermaids, whose beauty and sexuality lure men to their deaths. But the Classical Greeks understood the Sirens differently: as bird-women, creatures that Mediterranean cultures traditionally associated with hidden knowledge.

Today, the words “siren” and “mermaid” are often used interchangeably. But the truth is, the ancient Greek myth of a siren was nothing like that. The sirens have been linked to various locations, both real and imaginary, in and around Italy and Greece.

Sirens were believed to look like a combination of women and birds in various different forms. In early Greek art, they were represented as birds with large women’s heads, bird feathers and scaly feet. By the Middle Ages, the figure of the Siren had transformed into the enduring mermaid figure.

Origins & Attributes. The Sirens were hybrid creatures with the body of a bird and the head of a woman, sometimes also with human arms. The Sirens had beautiful singing voices and were gifted lyre players. So wonderful was their musical talent that it was said they could even calm the winds.

Siren is a genus of aquatic salamanders of the family Sirenidae. The genus consists of three living species, along with one extinct species from the Eocene Epoch and three from the Miocene.

: a woman who is very attractive but also dangerous. : one of a group of female creatures in Greek mythology whose singing attracted sailors and caused them to sail into dangerous water or toward rocks.

Mermaids appear in the folklore of many cultures worldwide, including the Near East, Europe, Asia, and Africa. In ancient Assyria, the goddess Atargatis transformed herself into a mermaid out of shame for accidentally killing her human lover.

Siren Head is a fictional cryptid created by a Canadian artist Trevor Henderson. It is an enormous emaciated being with a pair of sirens where a head would normally go, which are capable of emitting various noises both natural and man-made, including sirens, radio broadcasts, white noise, and human voices.

The simplest version of a siren is a mechanical device that pushes an air stream against a rotating perforated disk. As the disk spins, the airflow will be alternately interrupted and allowed to pass. The ensuing fluctuation in air pressure produces a series of regular pressure waves that we perceive as sound.
