'''Trident Knight''' is a stout enemy first appearing in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]''. Trident Knights wear arm{{o}}r resembling that of a samurai warrior with a crescent moon decoration on their helmet, and use electrified tridents as projectile weapons. Part of the [[Meta-Knights]] group, Trident Knights appear during Meta-Knight [[Mid-Boss]] sequences, typically spawning on high platforms and throwing tridents down at [[Kirby]]. Like the other members of their group, they give no [[Copy Ability|ability]] when inhaled and swallowed.

|''[[Kirby: Big Race in Pupupu Land!]]''
|[[File:V5 Trident Knight Illustration.png|100px]]
|Tertiary supporting character
|In this volume, Trident Knight is one of the many contestants in the big race held in [[Dream Land]], along with the other three [[Meta-Knights]]. When the racers are choosing their machines, [[Axe Knight]] chooses the [[Shadow Star]]. The other Meta-Knights get jealous, and they board the machine too. The four of them fight over the machine as it unstably cruises along. Throughout the rest of the race, Trident Knight is usually grouped with the other contestants without standing out.

|''[[Kirby: Save the Rainbow Islands!]]''
|[[File:V14 Trident Knight Illustration.png|100px]]
|Tertiary supporting character
|In this volume, Trident Knight, [[Mace Knight]] and [[Captain Vul]] go to get cake for themselves from [[Chef Kawasaki (novel character)|Chef Kawasaki]]. When [[Kirby (novel character)|Kirby]] asks about their intentions, Trident Knight reveals their goal, as much for Captain Vul's dismay. Trident Knight gets mad at Kirby after learning that he ate all the cakes and holds his weapon against him. After they state that they want to help save the [[Rainbow Islands]], he and the other [[Meta-Knights]] start to envision a vacation like the one that [[King Dedede (novel character)|King Dedede]] wants, implying that they want to save the Rainbow Islands only to get a vacation. When Meta Knight returns from the adventure, Trident Knight misinterprets Meta Knight's disclaim of accomplishment as modesty.

|''[[Kirby: Uproar at the Kirby Café?!]]''
|[[File:V18 Trident Knight Illustration.png|100px]]
|Tertiary supporting character
|In this volume, like the other Meta-Knights, Trident Knight is excited by the thought of trying the desserts of the cooking competition. Meta Knight agrees to let the Meta-Knights taste the dishes, but only if they think of it as part of their training. Trident Knight comes on the day of the competition with Meta Knight and wonders with the others what dish will win each round.
