Description
Tritons are aquatic humanoid creatures, loosely based on the merman god Triton from Greek mythology.[citation needed] Tritons resemble aquatic elves in their upper half, but their lower halves are more fish-like, with scaly legs and webbed feet. They favor tridents over other weapons.
Tritons are of the outsider type but native to the Material Plane, though they are thought to originate from the Elemental Plane of Water. Tritons are able to magically summon water elementals and other creatures of the sea to come to their aid.
A triton is usually neutral in alignment. They are the natural enemies of the sahuagin.
Society
Tritons worship the deity Persana.
