Kraken

From WoWWiki

This article or section contains lore taken from the Warcraft RPG books.

The 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} There appears to be two types of "kraken". The first type are giant squid-like creatures with tentacles.^{WoE 43} 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.^{WoE 43}

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 model for the boss known as The Lurker Below is called Krakken in the game's files.
