 ==Useful Info==
-A '''merfolk avatar''' is similar to a [[siren]], but much more insidious and deadly. Like sirens, they will attempt to [[mesmerise]] you shortly after noticing you. Unlike sirens, however, they will then keep as far away from you as possible, retreating into [[deep water]] when able, and begin summoning swarms of [[drowned soul]]s to kill you. They are occasionally found throughout [[the Shoals]].

 *High [[willpower]] will let you ignore the singing effect. The spell can also be broken early by killing or confusing the siren, as well as through a number of other methods. See the [[mesmerise]] page for a full list.

 *Drowned souls aren't very durable, but there are a lot of them and they won't stop coming until the avatar is dead. Focus on killing her quickly, and all her souls will dissipate.
 *For melee-focused characters, if you have a means of [[fly]]ing and [[potion of haste|hasting]] yourself, then you can just chase down the avatar and take her out up close. This poses significant dangers, of course, as you'll be taking significant amounts of [[asphyxiation]] damage from her drowned souls as you rush in. If possible, use ranged attacks instead to take her out more quickly.
-*[[Unbreathing]] species (the undead, [[gargoyle]]s, and grey [[draconian]]s) have little to fear from the drowned souls. Focus on other, more immediate threats first.

 Merfolk avatars were introduced in [[0.16]], freeing up the monster name [[siren]], which [[mermaid]]s were then renamed to.
