They sing a beutiful tune to lead sailors to their doom.
A monster that sings glorious music that lures sailors to their doom is a Siren.
Sirens.
The Sirens.
No. Sirens are mythological creatures that lure sailors to their doom by their voices, they had no use for 'plunder'.
If you are asking 'what enticed sailors to their doom' then that would be the sirens or syrens (based on the origin) if you are asking 'how did they entice sailors to their doom' then that would be their voices. The Sirens (syrens) are vulture-like creatures (although some origins depict them as mermaid type creatures) with hypnotising voices, the voices allow the hearer to glimpse what they want most. When the hearer heads towards the 'dream world' the crash into the jagged rocks and die, the sirens then feast on them.
In Greek mythology, sirens were creatures that lured sailors to their doom with their enchanting voices, causing ships to crash on the rocks. The sailors who heard the sirens' song were unable to resist its allure and would steer their ships towards the dangerous rocks, leading to shipwrecks and death.
Considering that by song alone they lure sailors and ships to their doom; not very weak at all.
The Sirens appear in Greek mythological literary works such as The Odyssey by Homer.
In the Odyssey, the sirens were mythical creatures who lured sailors to their doom with their enchanting voices. They tempted Odysseus and his crew by singing irresistible songs that promised knowledge and pleasure, causing the sailors to be drawn towards them despite the danger.
I do not think so. The Sirens sang and led sailors to their death. No one knows what they look like because they all died so I'm assuming that they didn't.
They lured sailors and ships to their doom by song. They represented the danger of the sea that a man or ship might never return after setting out on a voyage.
Your trying to put a age to a mythological creature, there is no answer because its a myth.
