Tritons excel with melee weapons due to their Strength bonus. A special weapon for Tritons is the Tapal. This one-handed arched blade can be used with a spear, dagger, or bone- or coral-colored spear. Tritons are traditionally presented tapals when they turn 15 years old. Tapals are often family heirlooms that have a deep personal meaning to many Tritons. They are most effective underwater but can also be used at the surface.
