What is a Kraken?

Kraken

A Kraken is a huge sea monster in Norwegian legend that looks like a giant octopus or giant squid. The legend may very well be born from rare occurrences of giant squid coming to the surface and attacking ships; giant squid are known to attack huge sperm whales in ocean depths of over 3000 feet. This giant squid theory seems unlikely though as a giant squid would probably die from the changing pressures before reaching the surface.
