Triton

Description

Tritons, a race of humanoid fish people, trace their origins to the depths of the sea. Once confined to the vast oceans, they have now expanded their presence to coastal regions, forging connections with the surface world and safeguarding it from the perils of the deep. Tritons possess distinct features that reflect their aquatic heritage, including webbed hands and feet, along with small fins adorning their calves. Their skin displays a captivating array of blues and greens, mirroring the colors of the ocean they call home. With their unique physiology and innate connection to the sea, tritons serve as protectors of both the depths and the coastlines, bridging the gap between land and water with their unwavering dedication.
