description: 'While sometimes understandably mistaken for __merfolk__—both species
  live underwater and have a blend of features from both humans and fish—tritons have
  two legs instead of a tail. This gives tritons the ability to operate on land, though
  they are neither as comfortable nor as skilled above water as below.




  The arms and legs of a triton feature fins that assist in swimming, and their entire
  body is covered in fine scales that range in color from silver to cerulean blue
  to seaweed green. Their amphibious nature shows in the webbing between the digits
  of their feet and hands, as well as the fact that they have both gills and a human-shaped
  nose and mouth. Triton hair grows in wide strands like seagrass, commonly green
  in shade but in some cases blue or white. Their eyes range in color from sea blue
  to golden.




  Many tritons see themselves as defenders of the deep, dedicating their lives to
  protecting the inhabitants of the seas from evil creatures and intruders—whether
  they come from underwater or the surface world. Primary among triton foes are __sea
  devils__ and __alghollthu__, both of whom have amphibious forces that tritons have
  had to fight underwater and on land.




  In their quest to fight underwater evil, tritons sometimes ally with __dolphins__
  and sea turtles (both of which make excellent mounts), __water elemental__, and
  sometimes even __sharks__ and __sea serpents__. Tritons can summon such allies using
  a conch shell as a trumpet. When it comes to other intelligent undersea species,
  however, tritons take pride in their self-sufficiency, rarely trading with other
  underwater peoples such as merfolk, and even more rarely forming established alliances.




  Tritons live in natural-grown villages on the sea floor, forging dwellings out of
  colorful coral reefs, in rift valleys heated by volcanic activity, and even in underwater
  canyons— though they avoid settling in extreme depths due to the risk of encountering
  __krakens__ or worse. They like to decorate their homes with aquatic plants, bioluminescent
  fish, and attractive trinkets recovered from shipwrecks.
