Born: 4000 Years Ago
Size: 20 Feet Tall
Habitat: In the depths of the Mediterranean Sea
Faster than a speeding Jet Ski, more powerful than a nuclear submarine, able to leap the tallest waves with a twist of his flipper...it's a duck, it's a flying fish, no, it's Triton - master of the ocean! Half human and half fish, Triton cruises across the ocean in a chariot, powered by a team of dolphins. He carries with him a magic conch (seashell) which, when blown like a trumpet, can command the seas to become calm or churn into a stormy rage. Even landlubbers are not safe from Triton, as he can change his tail into legs and come ashore to create havoc. So next time you're at the beach or out fishing and you hear a distant horn, head for the hills - Triton may be biting!
