The Kraken was an enormous sea creature that acted as a pet to Davy Jones.
Overview[]
The Kraken was a cephalopod-like beast, with a squid-like mantle, a number of long, suckered tentacles at the base of its head. Some of these were as thick around as a galleon's main mast, most significant were the two long forearms powerful enough to split a ship into fragments in mere seconds. The huge suckers on its tentacles were strong enough to pull the flesh clean away from a sailor's face.
The Kraken used the tips of its tentacles to feel its way around a ship before deciding where best to strike. It also had a long, sharp tail similar to a squid and large round eyes with orange irises and black pupils. It had a large, maw-like mouth surrounded by fangs from below its large eyes, and a massive body at least twice as long as its tentacles.
The overall length of the Kraken was similar to the length of 10 ships, which would be approximately 1400 feet in total length. Its body resembles a massive, cuttlefish-like cephalopod. It has been suggested that the Kraken was the last of its kind.
