The trident was a golden trident that once belonged to Kalmaar. Following the demise of his father, Trimaar, Kalmaar decided to replace his own trident with his father's, which was used to control Wojira until its destruction. The original trident ended up at the Land of Lost Things years later after the Merge, where it was found by Fritz.
History
Five Thousand Fathoms Down
Kalmaar used his trident to threaten Glutinous. Later, he used it to shoot at Nya and Maya in their APS suits.
The Wrath of Kalmaar
Kalmaar used his trident to threaten Nya and Maya if they didn't give the location of the Island of the Keepers. When Gripe comes and startles Kalmaar, he shoots the trident at the top of a pole, letting Nya and Maya to escape.
Long Live the King
When Kalmaar killed his father Trimaar, he used his trident to do it. Then he threw the trident on the ground to pretend that the ninja killed him.
After Kalmaar became the new King of Merlopia, he replaced his trident with his father's, and it along with the Maaray Guards' tridents changed from blue to red.
Escape from Merlopia
Alone in his new throne room, Kalmaar went to the throne to pick up his father's trident, which briefly turned back to its original blue color. Kalmaar angrily pounded his trident on the ground to change it back to red. As he admired his trident, he was startled by Gripe, causing him to accidentally shoot a bolt at the throne and leaving a small burn mark on the seat. As they were speaking, the guards from earlier arrived with their tridents.
The Tale of Benthomaar
In a flashback, Trimaar used his trident to attack the eels that were tormenting the baby Benthomaar.
The Storm Amulet
Kalmaar arrived on the Hydro Bounty and threatened the ninja and Benthomaar with his trident, using it to knock away Benthomaar's spear. After accepting the fake Storm Amulet, he used his trident to destroy the controls so they would be stranded at the Island of the Keepers.
Riddle of the Sphinx
Kalmaar uses his trident to blow a hole into the Explorer's Club. He then used his trident to battle against Wu, and hit him with an electrical bolt in the ensuing battle.
Papergirl
Kalmaar exited the Explorer's club with the Storm Amulet, but was attacked by Kai, Cole, Wu, and Ray. He used his trident to defend himself, blasting Wu and Kai in the process. Kai then grappled against Kalmaar and his trident, which fired and nearly hit Antonia and Nelson. Kalmaar followed the pair, nearly blasting them multiple times.
Master of the Sea
Kalmaar and Nya battled, with the former nearly skewering her with his trident before Benthomaar blocks him with his Benthomaar's spear. Kalmaar fired his trident as a distraction while Gripe blasted Benthomaar in the back with his trident.
The Calm Before the Storm
Kalmaar could be seen riding on Wojira's head with his trident, controlling her with his trident.
Assault on Ninjago City
Kalmaar used his trident to control Wojira, who grounded the Destiny's Bounty, blasted the APS suit Lloyd was piloting, and nearly crushed Jay's sub car before Nya saved him.
Nyad
Kalmaar battled with Nya atop Wojira's head, dealing several blows and eventually winning the battle before Nya retreated.
The Turn of the Tide
Kalmaar continued using his father's trident to control Wojira, and seemingly destroyed Nya with a concentrated electrical blast. He fought against Jay with it before facing off against Benthomaar, managing to destroy his weapon, only for the latter to throw one of his arrows to destroy the head of his trident, freeing Wojira in the process.
After Nya returned the sea level back to normal, the remains of Kalmaar's trident could be seen in a street in Ninjago City.
Public Enemies 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5!
Kalmaar's original trident was in a convoy of trucks guarded by the New Ninja.
Before Land of Lost Things
Through unknown means after the Merge, the original trident ended up in the Land of Lost Things, a valley of garbage in the former realm of Imperium, where it was found by the Formling Fritz.
Land of Lost Things
Fritz was seen holding Kalmaar's original trident when he and Spitz are running from Nya and Sora.
Abilities
- Electrical bolts: Like all of them, Kalmaar's trident can shoot electrical bolts. These bolts can power down vehicles such as the APS suits. An energy bolt from a trident is fatal if shot at a person, as seen with Trimaar. Despite this, Wu, Nya and Jay were shot by the bolts but did not die, meaning that it may require a certain amount of energy to actually kill someone.
- Control over Wojira: By utilizing the energy in the trident, Kalmaar was able to use the trident to cause pain and take control of Wojira. However, this only is with the help of the Wave Amulet, as the user can temporarily control Wojira's actions.[1] However, it has to be constantly stabbed by a weapon's energy and cause pain to Wojira in order to do so. Otherwise, the user would no longer have control of Wojira. If the weapon is destroyed or damaged, Wojira will regain control of herself.

Trivia
- Kalmaar and Trimaar's tridents are the only ones to be golden and feature a sai at the bottom of it.
- Kalmaar's orginal trident is the only trident not to be shown changing to red.
- When asked how Kalmaar was able to control Wojira by his trident, Giles Panton replied with a gif that said "magic."[2] However, Tommy Andreasen noted that it was because Kalmaar caused pain to Wojira.[3]
- A reference to Tommy Andreasen's statement is the fact that Wojira often yells out loud when Kalmaar pricks the Wave Amulet with his trident. This is supposed to illustrate the pain Kalmaar is causing her.
