Tritons

Aquatic species that lives in deep sea trenches at the bottom of the ocean. Although they claim to have known humans for some time, mankind has only recently discovered their existence in their search for oil at greater and greater depths. Their origins are currently unknown.

The two species have a strained relationship that at any moment can be thrown out of balance. They do however engage in a gene sharing program that is beneficial to both species and has resulted in the recombined and nereids.

Tritons lack a verbal language, and communicate with one another through telepathy. They are taller than humans, averaging about 7 ft, and have scaly skin. Their hands and feet are webbed and have talons. Tentacles protruding from their legs aid in mobility and combat.
