Desirability
The trident of the Octopus King is an excellent weapon if you find it early on, as it carries a decent brand, three useful resistances, and solid enchantments. Unfortunately, its damage output is a little low for the late game, and its brand is useless against demons and undead. Even so, it's a decent swap item if you suddenly find yourself suddenly in dire need of electricity or magic resistance.
In spite of the flavour text, there is no risk involved with possession of this artefact.
History
As of 0.15, the trident of the Octopus King had its enchantment changed to +8, and every ring of the Octopus King you wear adds +1 to this weapon's enchantment, up to a theoretical (but extraordinarily unlikely) maximum of +16.
