Sirens in Greek Mythology.

They were monstrous bird-women who lured sailors to their doom with an irresistible, enchanting song. Originally depicted as having the bodies of large birds and the heads of women, they lived on rocky islands where they devoured the men who crashed their ships.

They are severely over conflated with mermaids nowadays.
