Editing Triton (section)

===Eberron===
[[Keith Baker]] finally and officially merged tritons and [[merfolk]] together when he released his [[Exploring Eberron]] splatbook for 5e. Rather than being two races which are almost the same save for limbs, the '''Kalamer''' are aquatic humanoids who can shapeshift between a legged form, for exploring on land, and a tail-bodied form for better adaptation to life under the water.
<br/>To play one, use the Volo's statblock, change the languages to the Eberron appropriate equivalents, and give 'em this extra racial trait:
::'''Kalamer Transformation:''' When you finish a short rest, you can shapeshift from triton to merfolk form, or vice versa. Triton form functions as per the standard 5e triton. In merfolk form, your legs merge into a large, fish-like tail; your land speed drops to 10 feet and your swimming speed increases to 40 feet. You choose when you adopt merfolk form whether equipment and clothing worn on your legs falls away or is absorbed into your body until you resume triton form.
