 | | However, Triton's special attribute was a twisted conch shell, on which he blew like a trumpet to calm or raise the waves, also known as the Conch Shell. |
 | | A variety of Triton, the Centauro-Triton or Ichthyocentaur ("Fish-centaur"), was described as having the forefeet of a horse in addition to the human body and the fish tail. |
 | | Over time, Triton's name and image came to be associated with a class of merman-like creatures, the Tritons, which could be male or female, and usually formed the escort of marine divinities. |
