Homebrew Deep Sea Triton Species Details
A Goddess of the Sea created these Triton from the monstrosities of the abyss and specialized them for life at the depths of the ocean. They are twisted versions of the Tritons, and are masters of the depths, adapted to the dark to the point where they eat detritus and can see many things. Many of the deep sea Triton feel a deep connection with their goddess, Osira, and worship her rather than many of the other goddesses.
Deep Sea Triton are masters of controlling light as opposed to the air, and often have very little reservations regarding the surface.
Many Deep Sea Triton are involved in a cult to their goddess, and her Chosen Ones are considered to be her Oracles.
