Trinoc

Trinoc

Trinocs are a fictional alien species in author Larry Niven's "Known Space" universe, so named for the fact that they have three eyes, giving them "trinoc"ular vision. Their first appearance was in the story "There Is A Tide" from Niven's "Tales of Known Space", which describes first contact between a Trinoc explorer and Louis Wu. They are also mentioned in "Ringworld" and "Ringworld's Children", though they do not appear onstage in those novels.

Trinoc*coN is an annual science fiction convention held in Durham, North Carolina.
