The trispectrum is at least as important as the bispectrum and its size can be characterized by two parameters {tau}{sub NL} and g{sub NL}. In this short paper, we focus on the Multi-brid inflation, in particular the two-brid inflation model in arXiv.0805.0974, and find that {tau}{sub NL} is always positive and roughly equals to [(6/5)f{sub NL}]{sup 2} for the low scale inflation, but g{sub NL} can be negative or positive and its order of magnitude can be the same as that of {tau}{sub NL} or even larger.
