The Kraken is generally believed to be a massive sea monster. So massive was the monster that if it slept, sailors would mistake it's body to be a small chain of islands, and "beach" their boats. However, when the kraken realized that there was food to be had, or awoke, the sailor were either drowned or eaten alive. Back to Creature_List / The Creature List
