In addition to the moons that formed with the planets themselves, there are many more that were part of the huge number of asteroids, comets, rocks, and ice chunks that exist in the solar system. While some were destroyed by planetary collisions, others were able to establish stable orbits around the larger planets.
The large moon of Neptune, Triton, is believed to have been a wandering object in the Kuiper Belt (like Pluto) that veered too close to Neptune's gravity and became captured.
