The Sirens
==========
The Sirens in the My Little Pony universe are equine-fish-dragon hybrid creatures who use their hypnotic singing to sow discord on ponykind, and feed on their negative energy to become more powerful. They were only stopped by Star Swirl the Bearded banishing them to another world -- the one where Twilight's Canterlot High friends live.
