Siren Head, sometimes called Lamp Head (occasionally written as Siren Head or Siren-Head and Lamphead or Lamp-Head) and by many other names, is a hostile cryptid and urban legend created by the Canadian horror artist Trevor Henderson.
Personality[]
Siren Head is a very aggressive, monstrous and skilled predator, which makes it very dangerous. It seems to have some degree of intelligence due to using tactics such as camouflaging within forests and mimicking sounds like voices to hide from and lure its prey.
Other than that, nothing much else is known about Siren Head’s way of thinking, though unconfirmed theories suggest it is the last of its kind and so might have a strong will to survive, possibly developing its camouflage skills to hide from other dangerous creatures, though again this is not confirmed.
Siren Head is not above fooling people with their friends’ voices and one sighting of it suggests that it also blocks out the screams of it devoured victims with its own sounds, ensuring there is no chance anyone help them. This is most likely to ensure a successful hunt by confusing and disorienting the prey, though it might also simply be a form of cruelty. Siren Head also sometimes does not consume its victims as seen in the Siren Head video game, meaning that it possibly kills for a sport.
Appearance[]
Almost all images of Siren Head are presented very similarly to each other, featuring Siren Head as a tall, thin, desiccated and dehydrated humanoid with mummified skin and dual sirens on its head.
Henderson has confirmed that Siren Head's sirens have the ability of releasing various sounds out of them, such as conversations, white noises and extremely loud sounds which can damage hearing. Siren Head has been presented with differing objects on its head, depending on two known photographs.
