The other part was the Harpoon, which the profile calls her preferred weapon for fighting on the ground. (Gali Master of Water character profile)

Relation to the Protector's blaster#

Each Toa carried their own gear, separate from their Protector's. When Gali claimed the Golden Mask of Water, it was her trident she charged with, not Kivoda's blaster. (LEGO BIONICLE webisodes, "Gali")

Service in the Region of Water#

After she fell to Okoto, KivodaKivoda, Protector of Water of OkotoKivoda was the village elder and Protector of Water in the second age of Okoto, wielder of the Elemental Torpedo Blaster, descendant of Owaki, and guide who led Gali through the underwater region to the Golden Mask of Water. found Gali and guided her through the Region of WaterRegion of WaterThe eastern water province of Okoto, home of the Water Tribe and the Protector of Water, Kivoda, and the region through which Gali was guided across rivers, lakes, and deltas to claim the Golden Mask of Water. for weeks toward the Golden Mask of Water.

The rendezvous at the city and the fight with the Lord of Skull Spiders#

The trident's best-known fight came on the bridge outside the City of the Mask MakersCity of the Mask Makers: Home of Ekimu and MakutaThe City of the Mask Makers was a city on the island of Okoto, named for the brothers Ekimu and Makuta who dwelt there before the Battle of the Mask Makers. It fell to ruin and became the lair of the Lord of Skull Spiders before the Toa reclaimed it.. Gali reached the city with the other Toa, and things went badly at first. Tahu declared himself leader, Kopaka challenged him, and the two began fighting. Gali couldn't stop them, so Onua stepped in and pulled them apart. Then Pohatu quieted the group: he had sensed the Lord of Skull Spiders coming. (LEGO BIONICLE webisodes, "Team of Heroes"; BIONICLE: Island of Lost Masks)

Several of the Toa, Gali among them, tried to beat the Lord of Skull Spiders on their own and failed. Onua urged them to work together. (LEGO BIONICLE webisodes, "Lord of Skull Spiders")

Fighting as a team, the Toa hit the Lord of Skull Spiders with a barrage of attacks that overwhelmed him, and Onua collapsed the part of the bridge beneath him, dropping him into the chasm. It was only the threat of the spider lord that finally got the six working as one. (LEGO BIONICLE webisodes, "Lord of Skull Spiders"; BIONICLE: Island of Lost Masks)

Position within Gali's evolving loadout#

The Elemental Trident was Gali's main weapon through the 2015 story, when she was Master of Water. After the Toa won back the Mask of Creation, Ekimu forged them new armour and weapons, and Gali's 2016 Uniter of Water form came with an elemental blade of water in place of the trident. (Gali Master of Water, LEGO set 70786; Gali Uniter of Water, LEGO set 71307)

The trident's mix of elemental power, a fast way through water and a separate weapon for land suited a Toa who spent so much of her journey underwater. (Gali Master of Water character profile)
