[Aga Tentakulus]

   
Sometimes the question is why things are the way they are.
Here we have Siren and Triton from Greek mythology.

   
The siren is actually a bird with a human head.

I could imagine that the bird's tail was interpreted as a fish's tail and thus the Melusine was created later.
Since the bird's tail and a fish's tail have some similarities.
But I don't know.
