Kraken

The Kraken is a colossal sea monster. A fearsome creature with tentacles, closely resembling a giant squid crossed with a crab, the Kraken is said to be the length of 10 Costillian Galleons.

Few have seen the Kraken and lived to tell the tale.The many tentacles of the beast can reach to the top of a ship's mainmast and can without any great effort capsize a fully-rigged vessel, while the huge suckers on the Kraken's tentacles are strong enough to pull the flesh clean away from a sailor's face.

Naturally for such a dangerous and mysterious creature, the exact number and any meaningful amount of information about the species is unknown. The species is rare, that much is known, although still common enough for two or more to operate within the same waters. To date, several distinct Kraken have been identified officially, with yet more remaining unverified.
