Triton combatants carry a version of Triton’s Horn. When blown, they can cause either a fear effect that can cause adventurers to flee the immediate area, reduce stance, or even become immobilized, a Song of Depression effect which slows adventures, or a unique warding spell. In watery rooms(indicated by the presence of "some muck" or the ability to use the SPLASH verb) it can function as a water-attuned [[Major Elemental Wave (435)]].

The triton combatant stands hunched, her head thrust forward, and neck enveloped by heavy, muscled shoulders. Tiny alien eyes stare from a prominently bony brow, regarding the world with stubborn truculence. A mottled brown ridge rises from the amphibian's forehead and sweeps up and back, hugging her skull. This heavy protuberance, covered with damp, leathery skin, provides her with formidable head and neck protection.
