Siren head

Villains.fandom.com
Originally, Siren Head has been created back in 2018, by the Canadian horror-type artist known as Trevor Henderson, who is known for making various bizarre creatures over the internet. His other creations include Cartoon Cat, the Bridge Worms, the Man with the Upside-Down Face, the Giants and Long Horse.

The first photo of Siren Head he made was the one featuring Siren Head at a graveyard, in which he wrote a story about. Henderson also mentioned that Siren Head is very similar to the famous creepypasta character today known as Slender Man, as both of the characters got edited into real-life photos with a story being written regarding them.

Henderson also goes on to explain that Siren Head isn't a human, although Siren Head does have a voice and can possibly speak a language. Specifically Siren Head does not have any eyes, so it is possible that Siren Head uses other senses in order to orientate in space, though Siren Head's use of camouflage says otherwise. According to Henderson, people all over the world started sending their own photos to Henderson, with the intention of having Siren Head or another cryptid made by Henderson get added into the image.

In Trevor's Mythos

Siren Head is a 40-foot-tall humanoid creature with a heavily emaciated, near-skeletal frame covered in dried, mummified flesh the color of rusty metal. It's limbs are disproportionately long and thin, with arms as long as it's legs, ending in huge, bony hands. Where it's head and neck would be is a thin pole of flesh with two sirens attached to them (hence the name), and several black wires snaking around it's "neck" and into it's upper shoulders, pressed against it's abdomen. These speakers are the only metal parts of it's body, fused to the neck by tendrils of skin and capable of swiveling around it much like the head of an owl. Some images depict Siren Head's speakers with toothy, lipless human-like jaws and a long, retractable thin snake-like tongue, though Henderson has said that the teeth are only visible on a certain radio frequency.

True to it's name, Siren Head's speakers can play various types of loud noises, typically air raid sirens, garbled music, conversations, imitations of people close to the victims, numbers station broadcasts or emergency broadcasts.

When mimicking a human, a distinctive distortion in the voices is always present, due to the sounds being played through sirens instead of vocal chords or other organic means of creating noise.

As expected, Siren Head is very hostile and dangerous. Siren Head is mainly located in rural towns and wooden areas. The victims of Siren Head are lost travelers, hikers, and even children. If the sounds of someone in distress are released, it can be a method of Siren Head trying to lure the victims into the woods. Since Siren Head can blend in very well within trees, people do not even notice it. It could make its brutal attack at any time, and capture it's victims, while the sound of their loved ones talking are being played from Siren Head's sirens.

Hunting Tactics

The most common hunting tactic used by Siren Head is blending into the environment. This usually consists of heavy woodlands and rural areas. It has the ability to mimic the voices of people close to the victims, effectively luring them in. It is currently not known for sure what Siren Head does to the victims once caught. Theories include eating them, or simply making them disappear without a trace, adding them to the roster of voices used by it.

Sightings

The first sighting of Siren Head occurred in 1966, when a family on vacation in Arizona Desert captured an image of Siren Head near two telephone poles. About 30 years later on July 16, 1995, Chad and his friends were hiking in the woods of Tanyard Creek, where they found Siren Head to be lurking. According to Chad, his friends got snatched by something gigantic striding through the trees, which mimicked their voices. Chad was found alive with a few injuries, while the friends were gone, either taken or killed by Siren Head. In total, there have been about nine reports of Siren Head that were released by the victims.

One example is a photo of Siren Head on the streets in Indiana, where citizens started disappearing. However, these many incidents are not the first depictions of Siren Head. Ancient cave paintings of Siren Head depicting him engaged in combat with ancient humans have been found all over the continent of North America, which indicates that Siren Head is not a new species on earth. There have been also sightings of creatures that resemble Siren Head but lack similar features, though these sightings are implied to just be the same Siren Head shapeshifting into different forms to adapt to new environments as Trevor confirmed that Siren Head is the only one of its species when he responded to an ask on Tumblr about his creations possibly being part of a species; he name drops Siren Head, Long Horse, Bonesworth and Mr. Mascot as a few of the monsters that are the only one of their kind.

For example, a photo of Siren Head was posted where it appears to have a head resembling a streetlight, standing in a position where it's trying to blend in with the other streetlights lining the sidewalk. It is very possible that Siren Head has the ability to transform into various structures in order to better blend into his surroundings and lure it's victims. However, there are also theories that Siren Head is actually a hostile species, that there used to be a lot of creatures similar to Siren Head which are now deceased, and Siren Head is the last remaining member of his species and is always on the move to eat and survive.

Trevor has posted another possible sighting of Siren Head which is noticeably very different from the usual sightings. The picture appears to show a variation of Siren Head with many more sirens on its neck with about five being visible. The caption also describes how a majority of the population (either of a neighborhood or a small town) were found dead in their homes or on the streets with burst eardrums and soft tissues, which is odd as Siren Head has not done anything similar to this before. The fact that many of the corpses were not taken by Siren Head has led someone to theorize that it killed them for sport, though this theory is not confirmed as many people were also reported missing, meaning that they could have been taken by Siren Head for food or other reasons. It is still unknown why Siren Head had used this unconventional killing tactic.
