King Triton is an old, large merman with bushy, light grey eyebrows and long, white hair. He has a thick, white beard and mustache and a widow's peak hairline. He is well muscled and wears gold gauntlets with several studs on them on each wrist. As a merman, Triton's lower body is that of a dark blue fish with cyan, translucent fins. As signs of his royal status, Triton wears a yellow, five-pointed crown that somewhat resembles a sea star on his head, and carries the legendary trident, a golden, three-pronged weapon with powerful magical abilities. He also has blue eyes.
In Kingdom Hearts II, when Ursula gains control of the Trident, she saps Triton of his power, withering him into a dark colored polyp.
Personality[edit]
Triton is a firm, strict, and easily angered monarch. He seems to be a stubborn, cruel, and mean person, but all he cares about is the safety of his world and his daughters. He is dangerous when he is angry. He possesses some knowledge about the Keyblade and Keyhole, and understands the importance of bearing the Trident.
He is distrustful to beings that live outside his kingdom, both humans and inhabitants of other worlds. However, he is also accepting if someone proves otherwise.
Origin[edit]
Originating from the 1989 film The Little Mermaid, King Triton is the ruler of Atlantica, and believes humans to be nothing but a threat, having lost his wife to rampaging pirates years prior. This fear causes him to forbid Ariel from going up to the surface, where humans are, which only increases her curiosity about humans. After discovering Ariel's grotto, he furiously destroys everything in it, which leads to Ariel trading her voice to Ursula so she can become human for three days. Afterward, Triton takes on the penalty of Ariel's bargain in order to save her, transforming into a lowly polyp. However, he transforms back to his mermaid form once Ariel and Prince Eric defeat Ursula. After seeing this act and realizing humans have the capacity to do good, Triton changes his ways and transforms Ariel into a human permanently, so she and Prince Eric can live happily ever after.
