Character

Prince Triton was the main antagonist of The Clash of Triton and the son of King Neptune and Queen Amphitrite. He only appears in The Clash of Triton.

Biography

As a child, Triton showed interest in mortal affairs during his smiting lessons with King Neptune. He tells his father that he wants to play baseball (called the ball and stick game by Triton). His father then smites a single light post and sets it aflame. He tells his son that he could hit a home run and Triton leaves, as he wants to be alone. When he is grown up, his father finds him successfully making a cure for all mortal diseases. King Neptune destroys it and realizes Triton needs to learn to be the god he expects him to be. So Neptune locked his son in a cage in the Island in the Sky, where he will be, in his case, 10,000 years (although Triton's only been in the cage for about 1,000 years). When SpongeBob lets him out, he is seeking revenge against his father. Later, the two reconciled their differences with each other and hugged after Triton used a laser beam destroyed a much things in the town. The citizens of Bikini Bottom put the blame upon SpongeBob and Patrick for the destruction that happened.

Looks

Triton has long, wavy, orange hair, green skin, and a blue tail. He wears a brown vest and a blue headband on his head. He also wears a brown belt around his waist with a small pouch on his right side that has the letter "T" on it, which stands for his name. He wears a necklace with a blue crystal on it and a rope-like wristband. He also wears two pearl bracelets on his other wrist.

When Triton was a kid, his hair was short, he wore a white T-shirt, he wore the same belt like his Mom and Dad, had two golden clasps on his right arm that were like his Mom's, and strangely, he has the same voice now as he had as a teenager.

Family

Video Games

  • The Clash of Triton (PC Game) - Triton is the main antagonist. He captures his family, and others within the Krusty Krab. SpongeBob and Patrick try to stop him but they fail, However they manage to acquire the tridents of King Neptune & Queen Amphitrite to gain god like powers. The heroes must face off against Krabzilla and King Neptune's advisers (who Triton uses for his cause) to clear each area of Bikini Bottom (including Rock Bottom) which Triton has turned into a giant mountain called Mt.Triton. After clearing the areas the heroes arrive at the Krusty Krab. Triton uses his god-like powers and his Krabby Patty minions to attack. However SpongeBob and Patrick manage to defeat him and rescue his prisoners. He is later re-united with his father.

Trivia

  • He calls baseball "ball and stick" game.
  • Triton tends to say "man" in every sentence. Sometimes, he would say "bogus" which might indicate that he has a teenage attitude, explaining the behavior.
  • Triton is the messenger of the sea and the son of Poseidon in Greek mythology.
  • Triton and Neptune both have orange hair, but Triton's hair is more of an auburn orange, while Neptune's is a bright scarlet.
  • Allusion: Triton's interest in the mortal world is similar to Princess Ariel's fascination of the human world in The Little Mermaid. Also, both their fathers disapproved of their likings.
  • Neptune says that Triton was to be locked in the cage for 10,000 years, when he just turned 5,000. He probably was exaggerating, and it might have been about 1,000 years Triton was locked in.
  • If you look closely, the two hair locks that show on the outside of Triton's headband have different lengths in some scenes in The Clash of Triton (one shorter than the other); however, in most others, they're the same length.
  • Triton seems to have a strange habit of trimming his fingernails, probably because it was the only thing he could do when he was in the cage (he probably kept his nail clippers in the pouch attached to his belt, as seen where he ignored his father's plead to let everyone in the cage go).
  • He might be 3,000 years old or so, probably because each thousand years of his life equals a life stage (this is a theory, but it might be true).
  • Example:
  1. First 1,000 years = Child
  2. Second 1,000 years = Pre-teen (young teenager)
  3. Third 1,000 years = Teenager (he was probably close to becoming an adult when he escaped the cage)
  • It is unknown if Triton will appear in the series again.
  • Despite Triton's previous hatred towards his father, he also fears him (unless he is secured) because of his fear of the cage. Here are some clues that prove it:
  1. When Triton locked his father in the cage, he went near him without hesitation because Neptune couldn't do anything about it, but when he came out, Triton thought he would send him back to the cage.
  2. Triton begged his father, "Don't send me back to the cage, man!", which proves that he is afraid of his father due to the fact it was him who locked him away.
