| abstract | - The user either is or can transform into a Kraken, legendary sea monsters of giant proportions that normally live at great depths, but have been sighted at the surface and have reportedly attacked ships. Kraken have been depicted in a number of ways, primarily as large octopus-like creatures, in the earliest descriptions, however, the creatures were more crab-like than octopus-like, and generally possessed traits that are associated with large whales rather than with giant squid. Regardless of their form, kraken are vast enough to be mistaken for islands and cause serious risk for ships, not only because they sometimes attack, but because their size causes even their smallest movements to displace enough water to cause severe water movements, creating sudden dangerous currents and whirlpools.
