Elemental maidens

"Nature can be a fickle Mistress, Why should her daughters be any different?"

River maidens whom morph into thick blackness when submerged in their habitats. Despite being Amphibius in nature, they seem to favour leaving her near transparent faces above the water; floating above the gentle rivers with their thick black hair spaced out like tree roots. When out of the water, however, they take the form of nude young woman.
There's many a tale in many a culture of cocky men trying to seduce these creatures, only to be washed away in conjured tides for their bravado.
