A terrible three-pronged weapon, moulded by fire and brimstone.

This weapon falls into the 'Polearms' category. It is a one-handed weapon.

Demon tridents are the best one handed polearms, dealing significantly more damage than regular tridents. Though a demon trident is slightly weaker than a demon blade or demon whip, their reaching ability helps make them more desirable.

Worshippers of good gods cannot attack with them without suffering penance. However, worshippers of the Shining One can convert a demon trident into a trishula, with better stats and the holy wrath brand. You can reverse the process with Kikubaaqudgha's or Lugonu's blessing.

History
