How to identify a Siren

"Primal Sirens and tribes will appear less human and more aquatic, often with scales, barnacles, fins, and pointed teeth. These sirens are typically aggressive and excel in water combat and movement. Siren attacks are often fatal, and their distinctive sounds often serve as a way to lure somebody to your death."   "Primitive Sirens and tribes are much harder to determine solely based on their appearance. Some Sirens may look like normal humans, while others may have scales of varying colors or slick-looking skin reminiscent of an octopus, also varying in color. In some cases, their skin may not show any changes at all. These Sirens usually don't attack unless they feel threatened."   ~random professor at a school
