Evolution and History
Date of Creation:?? Creator: Melissa Running?
A list of "Retired Monsters", from 2000 or before, gives the following description:
THE SIREN--Does not wear armor but may easily identified by her continuous and mesmerising songs. All players who can hear the siren must STOP and listen to the song until released. The siren will usually assign a task to players which must be performed in order for them to be released. The siren CANNOT NOT BE KILLED REGARDLESS OF THE CHEEZINESS OF HER REPRETOIRE!}}}
I'm guessing that the unknown scribe meant "cannot be killed."

Anecdotes and Lore
The only thing I distinctly remember is being a siren. 'Cause I came up with the role but hadn't thought it through thoroughly. Mostly I just went around singing periodically. Soprano. Random notes or snatches of stuff. People were supposed to get dead by means of that, but of course, selective deafness happened, so mostly I think they died if they asked me what I was supposed to be. Which was altogether not a particularly sporting sort of character. ---<@ melissa
According to Bhadrika '88, the Siren existed while she was at Swarthmore, and killed by shining a flashlight on players (making her somewhat of the antithesis of the Grue). This apparently didn't work so well, as it was hard to convince players that the light had hit them, and, moreover, they were now dead.
