Description Evolutionary history

The siren is a sapient species of alvarezsaurid dinosaurs that is native to the mountains of the Korongo islands. They originally evolved to fill a niche similar to the secretary bird using their feet to grab small prey with occasional larger prey. This caused one of their toes to become aposibal, and it also moved further back on their foot. Due to grabbing prey with their feet, the arms evolved to be larger to help them balance. Their ancestor evolved before the islands separated, which caused a mass extinction of mountain fauna. At this point, the proto siren had not evolved the two enlarged fingers, which helps the siren to manipulate objects. These fingers are an evolutionary throwback to more basel alvarezsaurids that had larger fingers. Around the time the sirens' fingers began to elongate the evolved the ability to mimic sounds. This is thought to have initially evolved in males who, like some birds, incorporate noises into the mating songs. Due to the loudness of these songs, they evolved earlobes similar to chickens. Around this time, one species evolved to scare predators with the sounds of other predators. This species became sapient and evolved a culture.

Language

The sirens language is incredibly hard to understand as they use a mixture of bird like chirps and squaks, wing and tail positions, and mimicked sounds. For example, sirens use the sound of rain falling to refer to rain. This has often been translated into onamonapias such as Drizzlicopa, which in their language would be the sound of rain and then the copa sound. There are some regional differences, such as in the south island, where Drizzlicopa is referred to as Clapicopa as the south island has more thunderstorms.

Culture/Religion

The sirens are a polytheistic religion with four main gods, which are Boomicopa, Crackcilicopa, Woowocopa, and Drizzlicopa. Their creation myth has the gods creating a landmass to create life, but Woowocopa created his own land so he can make his own life in secret. During this time, sirens had more dexterous hands, but they killed all life, and then they killed themselves. The gods started their work again this time. They fused two of the sirens fingers into one large claw. However, Woowocopa took some sirens and changed them, removing the tails, shorting their snouts, making them stand upright, and removing their feathers. These sirens became the siren eaters or also known as humans.
