Can King Triton use his trident to kill enemies?

King Triton's trident is primarily a symbol of his authority over the sea and its creatures, rather than a weapon for killing enemies. In various adaptations, including Disney's "The Little Mermaid," it is portrayed more as a tool for control and protection of the underwater realm. While it has the power to unleash storms or command sea life, its use as a lethal weapon is not a central theme in these stories. Thus, while it could theoretically be used to harm, its primary function is not as an instrument of death.
