One of the following properties: rF+, rC+, rN+, rCorr, MP +9, Wizardry, SInv, or Fly[1].
Each ring worn also adds a +2 enchantment to the trident of the Octopus King.
Desirability
There are technically eight different rings of the Octopus King[2]. It is possible to find more than one in a single game, but finding all eight is extraordinarily unlikely. These rings are obviously more desirable than their mundane counterparts, but the additional effects these rings offer are very minor; it's not uncommon to find superior randart rings.
Only an Octopode (with their ability to wear eight rings at once) can take full advantage of the rings' synergy with the Trident, and they will still need lots of luck to complete the set.
