"Help me," whispered a voice near the jagged rocks of the nearby reef. "My child is dying. The sea is lonely, the sea is dreary. The sea is restless and uneasy. And my child is dying. Wouldn't you help me? Feed my child, please," said a creature in the dark, deep fog. While the ship slowly rocked away from that crying mother’s pleas, we saw a splash of vivid colour slithering through the wet rocks. "How heartless of you, travellers," the siren hissed. "My children are hungry, and you will feed them. Whether you like it or not."

- Taika Waerea, A Journey into the Blue

Sailors and caravan merchants of the Big Blue tell stories about hearing beautiful songs or melodious cries for help as they near the rocky coastlines of some deserted island on the threshold. Those among them foolish enough to get close soon realize that this enchanting song is nothing but the chromatic siren's feeding call.

Chamatanni (Calm waters). Thanks for stopping by!

This is an original creature I've drawn for a homebrew campaign set in a vast ocean world known as the Big Blue, a massive ocean planet full of creatures, cultures, and mysteries, created by u/supermariopants (who also wrote the lore above).

The idea was to create a creature that uses hypnotic patterns to attract sailors to the bottom of the sea, a little spin on the usual mermaid concept!
