Version 0.20: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Siren Song is a monsters-only ability that mesmerises the player, preventing them from moving away from the singer. It can be blocked with silence (either via spell or a scroll of silence) or with sufficient magic resistance.

If a player has been mesmerized, they can break free by killing or otherwise incapacitating the caster, breaking line of sight with a scroll of fog or a teleport or blink (controlled blinks cannot be made away from the caster).

This ability is currently only possessed by:
