Brief Bio

The Kraken is one of the most terrifying creatures of Norse mythology, a legendary sea monster that lurks in the deep waters of the North Atlantic Ocean. The Kraken has been described as a huge squid or octopus with tentacles that can reach more than a mile long and eyes the size of dinner plates. Sailors feared it would appear as a floating island, using its powerful tentacles to capsize ships and pull them to the depths. The Kraken can attack ships, drag them down to the depths, and devour the sailors as its prey.
