Oh, that's something new I learned. Thanks! It's also a weapon prominent in Ancient Greek Mythology, possessed by Poseidon, probably why it's more commonly seen with water creatures in fantasy. But it's interesting as the chosen weapon of Shiva. Is there a specific purpose to the weapon as to why Shiva chose it?
The weapon of the lord Shiva is Trishul or Trident which also signifies the forces of creation and preservation.
Shiva is the third god in the Hindu triumvirate. The triumvirate consists of three gods who are responsible for the creation, upkeep and destruction of the world. The other two gods are Brahma and Vishnu. Brahma is the creator of the universe while Vishnu is the preserver of it.
