That's Captain Gricer to you, lad!
[ *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  * ]
Name (of creature): Loxofoni avyssos (Devious voice of the abyss) (AKA: Siren)

Height: 1.5 meters (5 feet) at the head in a normal standing position.
Length: 6 meters (20 feet)

Weight: 1.2 ton

Primary diet: Small-large sized creatures. Primarily those that are carnivorous.
Habitat: Tropical coasts and beaches.

Base DNA: Glaucus atlanticus, Saichania, Zebra, Harpy Eagle, Termite, Macaw, Jewel Wasp, Parasaurolophus

Abilities: Bite force of 400 kilograms. Powerful talons can crush with a force of 1.5 tons. Can smack with its tail with a force of 900 kilograms. Excellent swimmers, able to reach speeds of 35 mph. On land they are slower, but still capable of reaching 13 mph. Despite this slower land speed, they are quite agile, even out of the water, and are good climbers. About as intelligent as a Macaw.

Weaknesses: The pheromones effects wear of quickly, with a fully enchanted creature being fully freed from the pheromone’s effects in only 5 minutes if it is freed from exposure. They’re not very good at actually fighting on land compared to most other creatures on the island. If they keep up their shriek for more then 6 seconds, they have to catch their breath afterwards

Defenses: Slippery skin makes them hard to grab. Fat layer provides a bit of protection from temperatures as well of sharp weaponry, but not that much. Pheromones make the majority of creatures completely harmless to them after sufficient exposure. Ears have a thin covering to protect them from loud noises. Weaponry.

Special Attributes: They emit massive amounts of pheromones as they sing. Any creature within 200 feet of the Siren will start feeling its effects. First, the victim will gradually feel calmer over a period of 2 minutes, to the point where even the most aggressive of creatures become Gandhi 2.0. 8 minutes of exposure to the pheromones later, they enter an enchanted state, in which they will follow the Siren and allow it to do to them as it pleases, as well as attacking anything that threatens the Siren. Alternatively, the Sirens can also turn up the volume to 130 decibels for a painfully loud shriek which they can keep up for 8 seconds. The tentacles on their backs, tails, arms and on top of their skull are hardened and can barely move. Their tentacles all contain nematocysts capable of delivering a sting painful enough to send their victim into shock. Though, unlike most animals with nematocysts, these are activated at will, instead of on contact. They can breathe both on land and underwater.

Description: Sirens are pretty creatures. they have the front half of a Zebra, although with a thinner head, a Parasaurolophus’ crest and the talons of a Harpy Eagle. Their tails are similar to a whale’s, but longer. They also have Glaucus tentacles, like, everywhere. They have them on their tails, making a shape similar to a whale’s tail fluke. They have them on their lower arms, forming something that vaguely resembles a wing. They have them on their backs, forming a large fin. They have them on the top of their skull, forming a crest. They have two on their cheeks, and lastly, they also have them bellow their crest, forming what looks like slimy hair. Oh, and they also have sharp teeth.

LOGI Info: “Oh, pretty little Sirens. The way you enchant me has only been matched by 400 lbs raptors pouncing on me. To be fair, though, you’re kind of cheating with your whole singing thing, so 400 lbs raptors win.”

“Loxofoni are fairly unique creatures. They have a great degree of sexual dimorphism. The females are flamboyant and ferocious, but we’ll talk about that later. The males are a lot smaller, rarely reaching lengths above 6 feet. They basically look like fatter, grey versions of the females and do no posses the crest that the females have, though they don’t keep this fat appearance for long. They live only to mate, and will abandon eating upon reaching sexual maturity to search for a mate. And they are quite dedicated to their job, as it is not uncommon for a male to mate with a dozen females or more. Regardless of how they did, at the end of the mating season, all the males die of starvation. Thus, there are short periods of time when the females are the only gender found in an area.”

“The female Loxofoni are often called Sirens. And they have an interesting way of hunting and reproducing. First, they go on land (Usually on rocks, or the back of a Vrachotherium, a relative of Akinitherium) and start singing. They do this to attract predators. I know what you’re thinking: Bad idea. Well, you’re right. It is a pretty bad idea for a predator to take the bait. You see, as they sing, they spread pheromones around the area. Any creature that comes close starts to become calm. Even creatures like Moraiskiouros, Bagewrath and Savage become puppies after a couple minutes of exposure. A couple minutes after this, and the creature becomes enchanted with the Siren, following it and not giving half a Perittoforeas’ armor at to what the Siren does to it. Usually, at this point the Siren will eat the unfortunate creature alive, facing no resistance from it. If they are pregnant, however, the Sirens will instead opt to lay their eggs inside the creature (Usually around 8 eggs). Sirens are quite picky, though. If the host they find it too small for their taste (Which is anything below huge. As in Tyrannotank kind of huge), they will kill it, but not eat it, so the scent of the corpse further helps attract other, larger carnivores.”

“The juveniles hatch quickly after their eggs have been laid. They feed off their host’s innards for a while, usually a month or two, growing at an immense rate. As soon as the host dies, the young Loxofoni emerge from their nursery, at which point they are around 5 feet in length. After emerging, they go into the ocean where they start feeding of smaller fish. Whilst the females keep growing for a while, the males only grow a little more, before putting most of their eating into fat reserves for when the mating season starts.”

“If attacked, Sirens don’t often retaliate. Usually they just start singing whilst avoiding the aggressor’s attacks. If everything goes according to plan, and the aggressor becomes enchanted, they get an easy meal. If not, the Siren’s battle plan shifts from enchanting, to crushing. They will employ hit and run tactics, using their shrieks and nematocysts to immobilise their attacker through pain and delivering deadly strikes with their talons. Their jaws and tail can also be used for attack, but they are not used very often, as their sheer destructive power pales compared to their bone crushing talons. If they have secured an advantage, the Sirens are not afraid to press it, often climbing on the back of their opponent before crushing their skulls with their massive talons, a very devastating and unpleasant fatality.”

“So remember. If you go into the genomian wilderness and you hear something singing, you probably want to stay away, no matter how pleasant it sounds.” ~David Gordon

Other: I was planning to post a different creature first, as well as finish all my planned updates, but then this idea entered my head and I could not ignore it.

And AT LONG LAST, I GET TO USE THE DNA OF MY ONE TRUE WAIFU, GLAUCUS ATLANTICUS! Which reminds me, can anyone guess why Sainchania's DNA is included?

Also, just to clarify, it’s the females that participate in the battledome. The males just sit here in the LOGI, waiting for all eternity until somebody does something with them.
