Kraken

Kraken are mythological sea monsters of gargantuan size. They are said to exist off the coasts of Norway and Iceland. The sheer size and dreadful appearance of these beasts have made them one of the most feared ocean-dwelling creatures. Kraken are one of the largest species of sea monster and sea serpent. Accounts surrounding the monsters may have originated from sightings of giant squid. Modern scientists are learning about the habitat and breading populations of the giant squid, which can grow to the size of 15 metres (50-60 feet).


Kraken usually live in the depths of the ocean, but can be seen on the surface of the water.Reports claim that the monsters will attack ships in search for food and pure destruction.Kraken are said to have great intelligence, but little is known about them. The monster is reported to look like a mixture between a giant squid and some form of crab. When a Kraken is in the area you may see bubbles of water, sudden and dangerous currents, or the appearance of new islets.Norwegian sailors and American whalersoften reported the presence of Kraken.
Many historic and mysterious ship wrecks and disappearances have been credited to the monster, including one famous 1782 incidentin which ten British warships vanished.
