Kraken

From WoWWiki

Kraken, or krakken, are mighty aquatic minions of Neptulon the Tidehunter summoned by him from the Abyssal Maw in the Elemental Plane.^{S&L 140} Two types of "kraken" appear to exist. The first type are giant squid-like creatures with tentacles.^{WoE 43} The second type are more fish-like with giant fins and smaller in size.

In known history, the giant squid-like type has appeared twice. Once to destroy the Gurubashi Empire, as is told in The Fall of Gurubashi book. A second sighting came in the time anomaly, when one tried to grab Rhonin. This kraken was fifty feet in length.^{WoE 43}

The giant squid-like type of kraken are older than mortal races, huge towers of power, so huge that "jungles of kelp swayed through their limbs, and leviathans swam through bodies".^[1] It is told that "They remembered when the Old Ones ruled and when the Travelers came and cast them down. They remembered when magic was new." However, they still can be hurt by powerful magic.

The fish-like krakken may also be known as lurkers below.
