Description A giant sea monster that originated in Scandinavian folklore. The Kraken is usually depicted as a giant cephalopod (squid or octopus), though early reports and art showed it as some kind of giant crab. I decided to mix the two visually, with a bit of other sea creatures thrown in.

Kinda ironic that you drew some mythological monsters for kaijune that now are canon in an actual kaiju movie, Godzilla King of the Monsters.

 "What is dead may never die, but rises again harder and stronger" to quote those Lovecraft-poaching vikings with the Kraken on their coat of arms.

"Release the kraken!"

Otherwords I guess it can easily grab ships with those crab claws making it even more terrifying I guess.
