Krakens
The Kraken, a legendary deep-sea monster
that dwells in the dark, uncharted waters.
It is known for its massive size and ferocious
appetite for all manner of sea creatures or ships.
Though, this one is still too young for the latter.
These colossal cephalopods are known for their everincreasing
size and strength as they age, making them some
of the most formidable denizens of the deep. Their body
resembles an octopus or squid but of colossal proportions.
They possess ten powerful tentacles, each lined with rows of
razor-sharp suckers, capable of easily ensnaring and crushing
prey. Their eyes are said to be as large as a human, glowing
eerily in the inky blackness of the abyss.
Growing in size and power. One of the unique
characteristics of these magnificent creatures, which I had the
privilege to learn about during my stay in Encura, is that they
never cease to grow. As they continue to expand in size, their
strength proportionally increases, turning them into even
more formidable inhabitants of the deep. The ones spoken
of by sea dwellers have been known to reach sizes as colossal
as several ships combined. However, they also occasionally
come across young Krakens, which can be as small as a small
cow or, more fittingly, a shark. Yet, legends suggest that deep
in the ocean's abyss, one can encounter Krakens of titanic
proportions, beyond our comprehension. Perhaps one day,
I will have the opportunity to witness their awe-inspiring
magnificence.
Hunting method. Their primary method of attack is to use
their powerful tentacles to constrict and immobilize their
victims, crushing them with brute force. They can also tear
apart ships or prey if they so wish. Krakens are known for
their exceptional intelligence and cunning strategies they use
to disable vessels and drag them beneath the waves. When
Krakens feel threatened, they can also expel massive clouds
of dark, inky fluid. This ink cloud creates a dense, disorienting
smokescreen allowing them to escape the danger or confuse
their prey, making them nearly impossible to track or target.
