Animation of the Trident. Note its piercing abilities.

The Trident is a pre-Hardmode spear that has a (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) 9/40 (22.5%) / (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) 7/30 (23.33%) chance of being found in Water Chests, Ocean Crates(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions), and Seaside Crates(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions). It has slightly more base damage than the Spear.

(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) If the Trident is held while submerged in water or lava, the player moves faster through that liquid and has an increased jump height. While under water, the Trident generates light when swung, and the player can decrease fall speed by holding ▲ Up. These effects do not work in honey or shimmer.[1]

Its best modifier is Godly or Demonic. Both modifiers increase the average damage output by the same amount. However, Ruthless might be preferred if the player already has very high critical strike chance.
