Kraken

Beneath the waves, the kraken sleeps for untold ages, waiting some fell sign or calling. Land-born mortals who sail the open sea forget the reasons their ancestors dreaded the ocean, even as the races of the deep ignore strange gaps in their histories when their civilizations nearly vanished after the appearance of the tentacled horror.
At the beginning of time it is said that kraken served as fierce warriors of the gods. When the gods' wars ended, the kraken shrugged free of their servitude, never again to be bound by other beings.
Whole nations quake in fear when the kraken emerges from its dark demesne, and even in the middle of the deepest oceans, storms rise or abate according to its will. The kraken is a primeval force that obliterates the greatest achievements of civilization as if they were castles in the sand. Its devastating attacks can destroy ocean trade and halt communication between coastal cities.

Kraken around the Azure Sea

An ominous darkness presages a kraken attack, and a cloud of inky poison colours the water around it. Galleons and warships vanish when its tentacles uncoil from the deep, the kraken breaking their masts like kindling before drawing down ships and crew.
The great beasts are a rare sight in The Azure Sea, but their presence is ever felt in the fears and worries of all captains when they set out on a new voyage.
They are said to be spawn of the ancient King of the Trackless Depths, Slarkrethel.
