=== Appearance ===
The Siren is one of only "two" female specimens (gender of crawler(s) unknown)&nbsp;– the other being the [[Stalker]]. It appears as a short, malnourished individual wearing only a series of thick leather straps, which are primarily used to bind its arms to their body.
As a result, most of the Siren's skin can be seen; dark veins cover most of her body. Its eyes are missing and the areas around them are bloodied; however, due to another of Horzine's experiments, she is able to sense nearby humans without the need for sight.
Their mouths are nearly always open, with their teeth visibly on show, either to intimidate, or due to certain facial muscles being too weak to close it. Because her arms are tied down, her secondary attack is to bite when in extremely close proximity to humans.

==== Events ====
For the [[Twisted Christmas]] update, she was reskinned as a caroler wearing a green dress, tied up in Christmas lights.
For the [[Summer Sideshow]] update, she was re-skinned as a "The Bearded Beauty"; an average-sized female humanoid wearing a green summer dress, however, her arms are stubs, ending with malformed fingers. As her name suggests, she also has a very thick and scraggly black beard and thick eyebrows, and is also wearing a pink headband. For the [[Halloween Sideshow]] Event she was based on her Summer skin, but renamed the "Scream Fucker". She donned a pirate hat and has hooks instead of stubs. During the [[Hillbilly Horror]] event, the siren was re-skinned and dubbed Granny Crystal May. She appears to be wearing a pink bath robe that's only be held closed by her arms, patterned undies, pink slippers, and curlers are in her hair. Under her bath robe there also appears to be a gaping wound on the right side of her chest.

=== Behaviour ===
The Siren has similar behavior patterns to the [[Clot]]. It walks at a slow pace towards the players, and when within range, screams. It can be generally found amongst a large crowd hiding her tiny frame behind other large specimen such as [[Scrake]], [[Bloat]] or [[Fleshpound]]. At that state she keeps her head straight and attempts to talk to other specimen, her benign voice can be heard saying "Can you see?", "Get me out of this... Jacket!", "I'll sing, they love it when I sing!", "Why do they have to take my eyes? *sobbing*".

When players are at its range it nods her head first, slows down her pace then raises her head and leashes out an ear-shattering scream. The Siren's scream can exterminate and neutralize any explosives within its effective radius, including the [[Husk fireball launcher]]'s fireball and [[Flare revolver]]'s flares. If a player manages to get close enough to one before it starts preparing to scream, it may attempt to bite the player, which can actually do quite a bit of damage, but unlike their scream, it does not cause any other detrimental effects and only damages the bitten player.

The Siren's scream can neutralize any explosive, such as [[pipe bomb]]s, hand grenades, and [[L.A.W]] rockets, within its effective radius by disintegrating them into red particles. Aside from dealing very high damage to the players within' a large radius, red frequency field will also pull any helpless player towards the specimen which happen to meatshield Siren at that time. That pull effect is so strong that it might pull players off from ledges into the middle of starving horde.

=== Historic data ===
{{KF-mod notice|s|specimen}}
One of the biggest gameplay differences involving the Siren in the mod has to do with her scream; it didn't let off a visible disturbance field as it does now, meaning that unprepared players could often fail to locate and dispatch her before suffering serious losses. Her physical appearance was quite similar however, despite some quite different features; her hair was relatively tidy, about shoulder length with a red tinge. She also wore a straitjacket instead of a system of straps.
