Triton
A species of amphibious humanoids capable of thriving in a variety environs. While similar to Merfolk they are distinct in that they more closely resemble surface dwelling humanoids.
Basic Information
Anatomy
Tritons are notably shorter than humans, averaging around five feet tall with a similar weight. Their skin is most commonly a deep-blue, but pearl and light green have been observed in rare cases. Their hands and feet are webbed, and they have minor dorsal fins that run from their mid-calf and end at their ankles. Triton hair colors are commonly dark blue or dark green.
Triton eyes seem to vary between brilliant shades of green or blue. If seen in standard lighting (typically within 200 feet of the surface of the sea or near a typical torch), their eyes appear similar to a human’s. In dim lighting, their pupils expand greatly to allow for better sight in the dark, sometimes turning the entire eye black. Their eyes also possess a nictitating membrane, which protects them from sudden changes or flashes in light. All of this allows for them to have normal vision even up to depths of 1,000 feet under the sea, though the triton are known to be able to safely swim down to 3,000 feet.
