- Tamara and Scrum When the Queen Anne's Revenge arrived at Whitecap Bay, Blackbeard ordered his crew to make a trap for the mermaids, by sending them in the boats and using his own men as a living bait. As the mermaids didn't come, Gunner forced Scrum to sing. His song, My Jolly Sailor Bold, soon attracted Tamara, who came to Scrum's boat and continued Scrum's song. Enchanted with Tamara's beauty, Scrum came closer to her to kiss her, despite the warnings of his colleagues. As she started to pull him into the water, she shows her true face as well as her fangs. Horrified by Tamara's haunting and demonic like look, Scrum quickly broke away from her charm, increasing Tamara's rage. As all the other mermaids began to attack the boats, Tamara took one last attack at Scrum before being fought off by the sailors. Tamara continued to create havoc for the intruders, by gradually working up the chain and heading for Blackbeard's crew along with the rest of her kind. Blackbeard used the power of his sword to call his ship which launched it's Greek fire cannons on the mermaids, forcing them to swim towards the men waiting with nets on the shore. As mass destruction was caused as Tamara's kind fought back with Blackbeard's men, the explosion at the lighthouse was the most destructive, caused by Jack Sparrow, with its bright light, falling debris and loud noise scaring the mermaids away. Tamara fled with the rest of her kind, leaving only one of them behind, a young mermaid Syrena, who was soon captured by Blackbeard and his men. ==Personality and traits== Like most of her kind, Tamara was extremely beautiful but also extremely dangerous. She was seductive, using her beauty to attract men before dragging them into the water to their doom. Tamara's personality seemed to be the same as that of an ordinary mermaid, and unlike the gentle-natured Syrena, she was vicious and bloodthirsty. ==Behind the scenes== * Tamara was portrayed by Australian actress Gemma Ward. She found it interesting that the producers stayed true to mermaid mythology when making Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. ==Appearances== *Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
