Freshwater Triton

As opposed to the Tritons of the sea, who live underground or in deep saltwater environments, the freshwater Triton has adapted to living inland. Retaining their humanoid structure, the species has noted structural differences from saltwater Tritons - namely resembling freshwater fish, such as catfish.
