The Water Lily Siren also known as Sunbathing Seaweed is an antagonist in Shantae and the Seven Sirens. She is the first of the Seven Sirens that Shantae fights in-game. She is in charge of keeping Plink captive in Water Lily's Den.
Appearance[]
The Water Lily Siren is a tall plant dryad. She has seafoam green skin and dark green plant hair. She wears a hair bow made from a red rose on her head and wears a pink flower bra on her chest. She resides in a large brown pot and it’s unknown if she has legs.. Four green tentacles that resemble giant vines poke out from the sides of her plant pot.
In the completion picture that appears via quick completion, she wears a frilly yellow bra.
Personality[]
This siren has a whimsical personality with a slight sense of mischief. She does mention that she eats people, and asks Shantae if she's sweet or sour. When she gets very riled up, she can conjure a spell to summon massive thorn pillars throughout the room.
Appearances[]
Shantae and the Seven Sirens[]
The Water Lily Siren makes her debut at the end of the first labyrinth, Water Lily's Den. When she is encountered, she wakes up and stretches. Upon noticing Shantae, the Siren wonders what she would taste like and then the fight begins. She is defeated and disappears.
In the speedrun winscreen, she and her fellow sirens (except the Empress Siren) are seen on the beach playing volleyball.
Attacks[]
In battle, the Water Lily Siren attacks by strikes her targets with two types of Seed-Saplings: green to summon miniature walking fly-traps, and red to summon large pillars of thorns. She can also summon thorn pillars without the need for Seed-Saplings.
She does not move on her own, but there are two switches to move her pot to guide her to a spotlight in order to distract her. When her leaves open up to reveal her hidden eyes, she becomes vulnerable to Shantae's attacks. She withers when defeated.
Her Monster Card increases the Hair Whip's damage by one point.
