Tritons

Tritons are a sea race born from Poseidon‘s and Amphitrite’s son Triton. Triton lives with his parents, Poseidon and Amphitrite, in a golded palace on the bottom of the sea. Triton was the trumpeter of the Sea, which was made out of a great shell, known as a concha. He blows this shell throughout the sea to calm the waves, or stir them up, all at the command of Poseidon.

Tritones are roughly human-sized. Tritons have silvery skin that fades into silver-blue scales on the lower half of their bodies. There lower half ends in two finned legs, while its torso, head, and arms are human. Their hair is deep blue or blue-green.

A triton is about the same size and weight as a human.
