The Sirens are minor antagonists of Ice Age: Continental Drift. They are fish-like carnivorous animals with needle-sharp teeth that resided near an island. They are based on the sirens of Greek mythology, which were legendary sea nymphs depicted to lure sailors to their deaths through their enchanting voices (in this case, their voices when impersonating someone sound like the being they're impersonating, albeit sounding autotuned). In the film, they trick the heroes and the film's main antagonist.

Biography

Sirens are sea creatures that are hungry for flesh. They usually lie on long rock outcroppings near the ocean, where they would try to lure in any creatures that got close by casting images of whatever they found most attractive, be it loved ones, an attractive potential mate or even, in the case of Scrat, the Saber-toothed squirrel, items, such as Scrat's prized acorn. Scrat, trying to bury the 'acorn' accidentally kills the siren, leading the others to pretend to be acorns and chase him.

At the end of the film, a siren found Gutt in a cave. And  appeared before him lying on a fruit bounty inside a massive clam shell as a  gigantoptechus mermaind. She soon managed to seduce Gutt, but revealed its true shape when he got too close to her and got hold of the shell edge. Gutt only had time to be shocked before to be grabbed and pulled by the lips when the shell closed and began to crush its eating feet before being pulled too. All that could be heard from outside the shell were Gutt's cries of pain as he was beaten and torn by the siren that devoured him alive, making his species extinct. 

Personality

The sirens seem to enjoy being seductive and making their prey fall in love with them, maybe because they're having fun with their innocence. And seem excited when they capture their prey, like the sirens that swam swiftly to join the mate who caught Gutt.

Trivia

• Whether the Sirens are truly evil or not is up for debate, as while they tried to devour The Herd and possibly succeeded in devouring Captain Gutt, they could be just fierce predators that are trying to survive in a changing world. Furthermore, when Scrat trampled the Siren who posed as his acorn to its death, the other Sirens immediately proceed to hit him as acorns in the same way he killed the Siren, proving that they indeed care for each other of their kind.
• The Sirens are the main reason Gutt wasn't Pure Evil as they cast an image that Gutt fell in love with. Since Pure Evils cannot feel love, Gutt is not Pure Evil.
• Unlike real mermainds who have the real yet seductive appearance and only use the corner to attract, they use the corner for both cases.
