Tritons are aquatic humanoid creatures, loosely based on the merman god Triton from Greek mythology. 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.
