Same as chitin? Or like "KITE-on"?
Well since MW states Chiton is pronounced \ ˈkī-tᵊn, ˈkī-ˌtän \, they are effectively the same. They even have an audio sample.
Wikipedia states Chitons is pronounced /ˈkaɪtənz/; 'k' in 'kind', 'i' in 'tide', 't' in 'tie', 'on' in 'button', and 'z' in 'zoom'.

Kyton is a fictional word, which I don't think has ever had an officially published pronunciation guide...but every person I have ever heard say it, pronounces it with a long I sound, K-eye-ton
On a side note, here are a few often mispronounced words which come up fairly often in TTRPGs: Chitin (as in insectoid and some demons exoskeletons) and Chimera (the lion/goat/snake monster) are both greek rooted words, so both use the hard K sound for the ch. Wyvern is another one which I always hear people mess up. It is pronounced as Why Vern...most people who screw it up pronounce it Whi Vern.

"Velstrac."
This one. It's just better.
Now if only there was a good way to pronounce Daemon vs. Demon without crossing accents.
