Fish-like "Krakken"
The kraken (or krakken) are mighty aquatic minions of Neptulon the Tidehunter, summoned by him from the Abyssal Maw in the Elemental Plane.Template:Cite There appears to be two types of "kraken". The first type are giant squid-like creatures with tentacles.Template:Cite The second type are more fish-like with giant fins.
In known history, they have 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.Template:Cite
The 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] However they still can be hurt by powerful magic.
The fish-like krakken may also be known as lurkers below.
The model for the boss known as The Lurker Below is called Krakken in the game's files.
