Origin Backstory
Norse sailors spoke of the Kraken as a colossal beast lurking in the North Atlantic, large enough to be mistaken for an island. When disturbed, it wrapped ships in tentacles and dragged them to the depths, creating whirlpools in its wake. Later naturalists linked it to giant squids, but folklore portrayed it as a primordial force of the ocean's wrath, released in end times.

Lore
The Kraken is a colossal sea monster in Norse seafaring folklore, a giant cephalopod-like beast lurking in the North Atlantic, large enough to be mistaken for an island. When sailors landed on its back and lit fires, the Kraken submerged, dragging ships and crews to the depths with its enormous tentacles and creating deadly whirlpools. Later linked to giant squids, it was seen as a primordial force of the ocean's wrath, unleashed in storms or end times. The Kraken symbolizes the terror of the unknown deep, the dangers of the sea, and the power of nature over human hubris in maritime legends.
