| - In the Mako pod, their song was used hundreds of years ago on sailors to crash them onto rocks. For this reason, this songs has long been forbidden. Lyla had planned to use it on Zac. It enchanted David by accident and he followed Nixie. David couldn't help staring, following, and pleasing Nixie. The enchantment was removed when Sirena blew into a particular conch shell. In northern pods, their enchantment song could affect mermaids from other pods as well as land boys and mermen. The song was used to lure sailors into the water and make them forget who they are, their lives, and invoke a desire to be with that mermaid. If a southern mermaid hears it, it will enchant her, making her find a target to sing to, but northern mermaids are immune. To stop the enchantment, mermaids must sing a counter version of the song. They have been banned from the northern pod for over 200 years.
