Description

A kraken appears to be a huge, dark aspected squid.

Procreation

Kraken reproduce with other kraken, with giant squids (making half-demon squids), & with other demons (following the mother).

Magic

1/200000 have soul magic, 1/1000000 have heart magic. Body magic is impossible, & mind magic is unlikely. Faith rarely occurs, & is low when it does. They cannot use void.

Special Powers

Kraken are gigantic demonic squids. They create maelstroms at the bottom of which they create hell-gates. They devour whole ships full of people, or whales & giant sea creatures. They do, however, occassionally make deals--safety in exchange for tribute. They are immune to mundane fire or water. It is a 22 difficulty to summon or control one with darkness or water. They fear drying out, & will go to great lengths to avoid even a wind off a desert. Their ink is impenetrable by less than a 19 light or vision magic/faith.

Culture

Kraken dwell at the bottom of the oceans, awaiting prey. They hunger for nothing more than the flesh of mortals. They are the mortal enemies of the sea dragons, & are sometimes seen at open war with them on the high seas. Kraken do not take on well with others, & never interact with other kraken except to breed.

Notables

Yul', the First Kraken, dwells off the coast of Ranu, creating a massive whirlpool that constantly prevents ships from getting anywhere.
