Triton

A race that hails from the Elemental Plane of Water, where they spent centuries fighting the horrors of the abyss. They came to the Material Plane in pursuit of their age-old enemies driven by a sense of duty. Ever since they have lived mostly in isolation, fighting battles deep beneath the waves. As a result of their isolation and limited understanding of the Material Plane, tritons can come across as haughty and arrogant. They see themselves as caretakers of the sea, and they expect other creatures to pay them deep respect. Despite their off-putting manners, tritons are benevolent creatures at heart, convinced that other civilized races deserve their protection. Their attitude might grate, but when pirate fleets prowl the waves or a kraken awakens from its slumber, they are among the first to take up arms to protect others.
