Siren

Introductory Cutscene
Location: Mist-Wreathed Cove

Synopsis: The terrible scream of a young girl rings out into the night air of the Mist-Wreathed Cove. The hunter enters the area, on the lookout for any danger. While the hunter can see easily on the rocky beach, the cove itself is enveloped with thick fog, and the hunter cannot see very far over the ocean.

The scream splits the night again. The hunter walks down to the cove and squints through the fog - a shadowy, serpentine form has just uncoiled from a large rock sticking up out of the fog and has slithered into the water. Then, all is dead silent as the hunter searches the water's surface, looking for any sign of the monster. There isn't even a ripple.

A wet slithering sound reaches the hunter's ears. The hunter turns around at the feel of a hot, wet gust of wind at the back of his/her neck, visible as a puff of white smoke. Before the hunter stands the creature - a horrifying Siren, its scales glittering in the moonlight. It stretches its wings and screams in the voice of a young girl, and the hunter realizes that he/she has been tricked. The Siren switches to its normal voice and produces an earsplitting, screeching roar, and the hunt begins.

Land Phase
Slithering Circles: Tenses its body up, then launches itself forward, slithering in a circle. It will sometimes do two or three of these before coiling up again.

Aerial Tackle: While in the air, it will circle back to give it some room, coil up, and then slither through the air at a target.

Double Quickstrike: Rears its head slightly back, then darts out and snaps with its fangs. When it retreats, it will do another right after it.

Twisting Bite: Rears its head, hisses, and whips its tail behind it, then darts forward in an S-shape and bites savagely. Does two always. It can do the same thing while in the air.

Tail Swing: Turns its head to the side and hisses, then swings its tail in that direction.

Tail Flick: Flicks its tail twice in front of it.

Spinning Tail Whip: Ducks its head into its coils, then begins to slither in a tight circle. It will go faster and faster before throwing its tail out and ending with an immense 360 degree tail attack.

Fire Blast: Draws back a little bit and bends its head close to the ground, then fires a huge blast of fire in front of it while retreating backwards. In the air, it will do the same thing, but will always end by landing on the ground. (Glue Fire)

Coiling Pin: Does a quick turnaround in which it swings its tail back behind it, then darts forward and throws its tail out in front of it. It will then coil up around the hunter and Pin you for continuous damage.

Siren's Song: First performs a Tail Flick to knock down hunters in front of it, then raises its head in a circular arc and begins to surround itself with a very wide "barrier" of sound waves. Hunters can move in and out of the barrier at will. Exactly one second later, the Siren will raise its head and sing a soothing melody that causes everyone within the barrier to fall asleep. This Sleep status lasts twice as long as normal. (Sleep)

Roar: Rears up from its coiled position and screeches extremely loudly. Requires High-Grade Earplugs and causes moderate damage if you're too close. (Stun)

Curling Twist: Rapidly ducks its head into its coils and then swims in a series of tight, rapid circles that cause currents around it. (Waterblight)
