Triton

Basic Information

Anatomy

Triton have four limbs, two legs and two arms, and they tend to grow fins on these extremities. They also trend towards having fins over their gills rather than ears, though they have noses for breathing air.

Genetics and Reproduction

Female triton produce egg sacs that float in the ocean, waiting for a triton male to lay his seed upon it. The gestation period for these fertilized eggs is three to four months.

Growth Rate & Stages

It takes fifteen years before a hatched egg grows into a fully mature triton in the biological sense. They can live for nearly two centuries however, before old age takes them.

Ecology and Habitats

Triton find themselves at home in the deepest parts of the ocean and make great societies by the trenches of the tectonic plates.
