As You Know, mermaids, like all legendary/mythological creatures, can vary in their portrayal from work to work. However, despite all the differences in mermaid portrayals, they seem to have one thing in common. For some reason, mermaids tend to be called sirens, and are given the ability to sing phenomenally well, to the point of leading unsuspecting people to their doom. In traditional definitions of mythology, the Siren is not depicted as a mermaid-like fish-woman, but as a winged bird-woman hybrid — in fact, the original Greek Sirens were portrayed as a cross between women and songbirds, and could die by drowning. This trope is an old one; the siren as mermaid was well-established in the medieval bestiary. In Thomas Hoccleve's early fifteenth century text, La Male Regle, line 233, speaks of mermaids singing men to their deaths, "as old books tell us." The issue is not helped by the fact that, in many Romance languages, sirens and mermaids are referred to by the same word, typically a derivative of the Latin sirena. In another part of the world, the Filipino sirena were described in what we now envision as the mermaid siren. It could be an example of Lost in Translation that these two words became used interchangeably, displacing parts of both. Subtrope of Our Mermaids Are Different and Our Sirens Are Different. See also Siren Song. |

In Hark! A Vagrant, by Kate Beaton, a mermaid aims to drown a sailor with her frilly singin'. Mermaids matching this trope make a few other appearances, including one longer story arc (where no mermaid singing is heard, but is referred to, along with their tendency to drown people). | |

Puella Magi Madoka Magica: The witch Oktavia von Seckendorff is an Eldritch Abomination resembling a weird cross between a mermaid and an orchestra conductor. Possibly an accidental example, however, because there are symbolic reasons for this form. Her backstory resembles The Little Mermaid, but with a musician friend in place of the prince. | |

Legend of Mana: Averted but acknowledged. Mermaids and Sirens are different species, mermaids being fish-tailed humanoids who can teleport via bubbles and sirens being beautiful harpy-like creatures that look like a cross between birds of paradise and women. The two species are friendly with each other, however, and are implied to be distantly related in some way. Both also seem to share a passion for singing around the ocean. | |

Into the Drowning Deep: Mermaids are capable of perfectly mimicking any sound they hear, such as whale song and human speech, in order to lure prey in. Eventually, they are designated as sirens because mermaid implies they are all female. The study of mermaids is also known as sirenology. | |

Harry Potter A tie-in book describes three subspecies of merpeople, one of which is the sirens. They live in the warmer waters of Greece and are the more beautiful kind that human art tends to depict; the other kinds are, from a human perspective, ugly. All merpeople apparently have a love of music, though. There's also a quirk to their music: outside of water, merpeople's voices are loud, unpleasant screeching that humans can only understand if they've learned it as a separate language (Mermish). Underwater, it becomes the hauntingly beautiful music that humans can understand just by hearing it. There's also a variant: the Scottish merfolk in Goblet of Fire are called "selkies," which are likewise a different creature in actual mythology. The third type, Irish merrows, actually are mermaids in folkloric tradition. |

In Watersong, by Amanda Hocking, sirens (descendants of the Muses who were cursed by Demeter) are a combination of the classical versions of mermaids and sirens. They have three different forms: On land, they're human. In seawater, they're half-human, half-fish. When they need to fly or (more importantly) feed on the mortal men they lure with their songs, they're bird-women. They have beautiful voices and appearances only in their first two forms; the third form is a case of One-Winged Angel. | |

ThunderCats: Played very straight when the mermaid appears; her song entrances Tigra, and the obvious purpose of this is to lure him to her and get him to hold still so she can feed on him; the shot of her vampiric fangs right before the break to a commercial is one of the most chilling in the series. | |

World of Warcraft: Naga sirens are a caster class of naga that specialize in hypnotism, specifically through their alluring voices. They play with this, since they have the general body shape of a mermaid and are clearly trying to evoke that image, but are actually aquatic Snake People. The fins on their head do make them more fishlike however, unlike the more powerful Naga Sea Witches that are Gorgeous Gorgons with a head of snake hair. Battle for Azeroth somewhat confusingly introduced actual sirens as a separate creature, which lure men to their death with their singing. Here they have birdlike wings for arms but a fish tail, combining the two popular depictions into one Composite Character. |

The Odyssey: One French adaptation has a bird-woman siren dive underwater.... at which point her feathers seamlessly turn into fins. Another adaptation, in this case one issue of the Belgian comic Les Centaures, features mermaid-like sirens even if the setting is (fairly) loyal to classical Greece. |

Mako Mermaids: An H₂O Adventure: Sirena once heard a North Atlantic mermaid's siren song on an online video and became a siren herself. In this case, she becomes violent and possessive of David, attempting to lure him to the ocean so they can be together forever (which will erase his memories and eventually kill him), took exception to her friends trying to stop her, and gained poofy hair. Mimmi and Ondina have to drown out her siren song with their own magic singing voices, and it's mentioned that siren songs are (rightfully) forbidden for South Australian mermaids. | |

The Last Jedi has a really weird variant in the form of creatures called thala-sirens that live near the Jedi Temple on Ahch-To and provide Luke with green milk. Unlike mermaids or classical sirens, these critters aren't humanoid at all — but they do resemble manatees, which are often considered a major inspiration for mermaid stories. | |

In Dungeons & Dragons, sirens are aquatic creatures with an enchanting song, a humanoid torso and the tail of a shark or serpentine fish. 1e and 2e averted this trope, depicting "sirines" as completely human-looking and distinct from merfolk, which had no special song-related powers. 3e split the difference, offering merfolk that still lacked innate song-based powers, but had Bard as their favored class. |

Berserk: The Merrow are an all-female race of mermaids who fight using their voices, which Isma's mother calls "singing". They once fought their Arch-Enemy, the Sea God, and managed to seal it away in an island, but the island's residents demonized them for their actions — even extending their Fantastic Racism to Isma, who is half-Merrow through her mother. When the Sea God is eventually freed, the Merrow emerge to fight it again, this time aided by Guts' group. Guts manages to kill the Sea God, and out of gratitude, the Merrow gives Guts and his group a new ship. | |

H₂O: Just Add Water: Cleo had a reaction to the full moon's reflection and gained a singing voice that is able to hypnotize all the boys in town. Lewis explains that "she's a Siren, just like the mermaids in mythology whose singing lured sailors to their deaths". Funnily enough that's the only episode of the show that doesn't feature the girls transforming into their mermaid forms. Mako Mermaids: An H₂O Adventure: Sirena once heard a North Atlantic mermaid's siren song on an online video and became a siren herself. In this case, she becomes violent and possessive of David, attempting to lure him to the ocean so they can be together forever (which will erase his memories and eventually kill him), took exception to her friends trying to stop her, and gained poofy hair. Mimmi and Ondina have to drown out her siren song with their own magic singing voices, and it's mentioned that siren songs are (rightfully) forbidden for South Australian mermaids. |

The Final Fantasy series averts this, with Siren being an uncommonly recurring character (often a summon) that usually just resembles a beautiful woman. Final Fantasy VIII actually has more of a bird-like appearance with feathery details including long hair styled like wings — though its summoning sequence does feature it appearing on a rock jutting out of the sea. | |

Mermaid, a Russian animated short, is about a rusalka, a mythological Russian creature that is basically a cross between a mermaid and a siren. It lives in the water like a mermaid, but it sings and lures men to their deaths like a siren. It also has a fully human body, like a siren. | |

Magic: The Gathering goes back and forth with this trope. On the one hand, there's the merfolk card Seasinger, which is modeled after a mermaid and allows its player to take control of another player's card, representing the siren's enthralling song. On the other, they have a separate "siren" creature type, which is represented by winged humanoids instead. The Sirens of Theros Avert this trope entirely, as they are a hybrid of Greek Sirens and Harpies, having vulture-like wings and talons, and such beautiful singing voices that shipwreck victims don't care. Even further averted on Ixalan. Like on Theros, Ixalan sirens are winged, and there is a card showing a siren seducing a merfolk with song, as if to defy this trope outright. |

In one of the Puyo Puyo anime shorts, Serilly the mermaid mimics a siren to bring her some friends. Her singing proves beautiful enough to start attracting people to her... then Harpy comes to Serilly and thinks her singing voice needs work. That wouldn't be a problem, but Harpy herself is notorious for being a terrible singer. | |

Disenchantment: Played With — the mermaids aren't called sirens, but play the siren legend totally straight, to the point where The Odyssey's "wax or tied up" strategy is used to combat them. Later subverted when it turns out that they're actually the walruses from a neighbouring island that are the sirens. | |

Fantasy Island (2021): Here, mermaids also draw mortals to them like sirens, which Isla does with Ruby. It's also noted (by Elena, a Latina) that in Spanish the word for mermaid is "sirena", thus the whole language does this. | |

In the original story of The Little Mermaid, the mermaid's older sisters like to go to the surface during dangerous storms and sing to ships that are likely to go under. The songs are supposed to comfort the sailors and assure them that the undersea world isn't so bad, but the men can't understand them. | |

Once Upon a Time: Averted. The mermaids are separate creatures from sirens. A siren shows up in the episode What Happened to Frederick, appearing as a beautiful shapeshifting lady in a lake. Mermaids (including Ariel) show up in Neverland. However, mermaids do have alluring singing voices, and at least one is encouraged by her father to lure ships onto rocks. | |

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt: Sirens (and their stronger kin, the Lamias and Ekhidnas) appear this way... at least at a distance. In fact, their beautiful female upper bodies are a means of luring prey (read, unwary sailors) along with their voices. The deception drops when they attack, revealing the true, monstrous form beneath. They can both swim and fly but are rendered practically defenseless if knocked onto solid ground. | |

In Lost Voices by Sarah Porter, the main characters are basically humans turned into mermaids, but are given magical voices like the sirens, which they use to lure humans to their deaths. These mermaids/sirens are all formerly human girls who were abused or neglected, and take vengeance on humanity for the mistreatment in their previous lives by sinking ships and drowning people. | |

Charmed (1998) has a notable subversion. The fifth season featured two episodes pretty close together, one dealing with a mermaid and the other dealing with a Siren. Though in this case the Siren doesn't really match mythology, either — she still has hypnotic singing, but looks fully human and is actually a vengeful dead woman who comes back as a demon. | |

The Little Mermaid (1989): Ariel has a beautiful singing voice. Most Disney heroines do, but here it's actually a plot point, since the Big Bad's price for changing her into a human is her beautiful voice. However, this is taken from the original storynote In the book her voice was just a fee and there was no mention of any singing.. Used in a more direct fashion when Ursula transforms herself into a human woman and uses Ariel's voice to cast a spell on Eric, hypnotizing him. | |

Sailor Moon: Sailor Aluminum Seiren is named for a Siren but is clearly filled with mermaid influences, and comes from Planet Mermaid. An overall blue color scheme, a seashell charm on her choker, her attack, Galactia Tsunami, is water based. In the anime it is just her throwing juice boxes and water bottles. Her anime civilian name, Reiko Aya, even contains a pun on Mermaid. | |
