The '''Kraken''' is a giant squid that grabs at sailors with its tentacles. It has no spells and no breath, but it hits hard, and it always carries a special fishing net that can raise more sea monsters.

== Overview ==
* '''In-game name:''' ''a kraken''
* '''Corpse:''' ''a krakens corpse''
* '''Behavior:''' it attacks the nearest target it sees and fights in melee.
* '''Water only:''' it swims and can't leave the water.

== Special behaviors ==
* Its script gives it '''no mana''' (mana is set to 0), so it's a pure melee fighter.
* Its pack always holds a '''special fishing net''' (a code comment next to that line says ''"Confirm?"'', so even the developers weren't sure it should), a rope, and a '''5%''' chance of a message in a bottle. If it was raised by a net there's another 20% chance of a bottle.

== Special fishing nets ==
Special fishing nets come from deep-water fishing (80 Fishing or more), from krakens' packs and from sunken SOS treasure chests (an ancient SOS gives a '''fabled''' net instead).
* Double-click the net in your backpack and target water within 6 tiles that you can see.
* A normal net needs '''deep water''' with open sea around it: the code checks the target tile and tiles out to 25 steps away along both diagonals.
* The net sinks over about 17 seconds, then the monsters surface within 2 tiles of it and attack you.
* '''Special net:''' 1–3 monsters (2–5 for the rare coloured nets). '''Fabled net:''' 4 more than that, plus a leviathan.
* Each monster is one of: sea serpent, deep sea serpent, water elemental or kraken (equal odds). A kraken raised this way has an extra 20% chance to carry a message in a bottle.

== Loot ==
Every kraken carries:
* '''Gold:''' about 260–350 in total (from its "Rich" loot)
* '''a special fishing net'''
* '''a rope'''

It may also carry:
* A '''magic weapon, armor piece or shield''' (up to 3 chances, from about 20% down to 1% each)
* A '''musical instrument''' (about 1% or less)
* '''a message in a bottle''' (5%; another 20% if a net raised it)
* A '''level 4 treasure map''' (1% chance)

=== Carving ===
There's nothing to carve from its corpse.

== Location ==
* '''Special fishing nets''': casting a special fishing net in deep water raises '''1–3''' sea monsters (2–5 if the net is one of the rare 1-in-100 coloured ones). Each is picked at random with equal odds: sea serpent, deep sea serpent, water elemental or kraken. A '''fabled fishing net''' raises 4 more than that, plus a [[Bestiary/Leviathan|leviathan]]. Every monster raised by a net goes straight for the person who cast it.

== Tips ==
* Every kraken you kill gives you another special fishing net, so a strong fisher can chain nets: each net can raise more krakens, and each kraken carries another net.
* It only fights in melee and can't leave the water, so archers and mages on a boat can fight it from a distance.
* It drops a level 4 treasure map.
