The Tritons are magical creatures who are the male counterparts of mermaids. These water-dwelling beings are found in the underwater dominion of Andros. They possess the upper halves of men and the lower part of a fish, and live beneath the sea. However, unlike mermaids who possess fairy-like wings, they appear to have a single fin found over the backbone and are unable to fly. Tritons first appeared in Season 5.

Overview

Guardian Selkie Phylla with Tritons

The only Tritons known so far are Neptune, the King of the Seas of Andros, Nereus, the heir to the throne, and Tritannus, the son of Neptune and brother of Nereus, and Season 5's main villain after being turned into a monster by pollution due to an oil spill on Earth, which came through a portal on Earth's oceans. The Winx will have to go on a quest to find the ancient Sirenix power to fight him because their Believix powers are too weak to fight Tritannus underwater.

As it is stated at the end of season 5, Tritannus loses his power when his trident is destroyed, the Tritons' powers may be contained on their weapons, thus lead them to lose their powers if their weapons are destroyed.

Powers and Abilities

The basic abilities of every triton include:

• Underwater Breathing: They have the ability to metabolize oxygen from the water, which negates the need to surface to breathe air.
• Speed-Swimming: They can swim for days without exhaustion, in great speed and agility.
• Thermal endurance: Like their counterparts, they have the ability to endure temperatures far more extreme than would be survivable for a normal human, like the cold of the depths.

Society
