Editing Krakens (section)

==Overview==

===Appearance===

Krakens are giant cephalopod-like monsters. They can grow to insane sizes, reaching miles in length,<ref name=": Glossary">[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/10/19/glossary/ Glossary]</ref> may have a hundred tentacle appendages and that their blood is purple.<ref name=":6.29">[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/06/29/6-29/ Chapter 6.29]</ref> Their arms have mulpiple beaks on them.<ref name=":0">[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/09/05/9-56/ Chapter 9.56]</ref>

Adult Krakens have multiple hearts,<ref name=": 8.07 L">[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/02/14/8-07-l/ Chapter 8.07 L]</ref> and also multiple brains, in each mile-long tentacles.<ref name=":8.40 CTV">[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/08/29/8-40-ctv/ Chapter 8.40 CTV]</ref>

===Power and Abilities===

Krakens are extremely strong as they can drag down a ship or crush an unenchanted one, without difficulty. In fact the largest known Kraken had sunk a fleet of 200 enchanted Antinium warships, all while battling against the True Antinium and over a dozen of Centenium.<ref name=":6.29" /> Even the strongest Centenium, [[Wrymvr|Wrymvr the Deathless]] could not best the Kraken, only survive it.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/11/08/7-56/ Chapter 7.56]</ref>

They are able to strike their tentacles underwater to create a shockwave. They are able to regenerate, and a damaged or dead tentacle will be healthy again in moments if it wasn't severed.<ref name=":0" />

Krakens can live for millenia. While it is not confirmed it is said that Krakens could defeat and eat [[Dragons]]. Or that a Dragon was what it took to defeat them.<ref name=":SS-Pt.1">[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/04/19/interlude-strategists-at-sea-pt-1/ Interlude – Strategists at Sea (Pt. 1)]</ref> The oldest Krakens have fought Dragonlords.<ref name=":0" /> As such even [[Lasc|veteran]] [Storm Captains] would rather fight an [[Crelers|Adult Creler]] at sea than a Kraken, as it is said that nothing survives a Kraken attack. Or if they do then they’re the truest [Sailors] of the sea.<ref name=":SS-Pt.1" />

Still as strong as they are, a pod of Tearwhales could bring down a Kraken, but only if there were enough of them.<ref name=":SS-Pt.1" /> Also while it is not confirmed, it is stated in ancient stories that a single warrior or hero over Level 70 can slay Krakens single-handedly.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2016/11/16/1-27/ Chapter 1.27]</ref>

They also seem to have great hearing as even while they are asleep deep down in their lairs, which are miles deep in a vast trench, they can still hear loud sounds that originates from all the way up to the sea surface.<ref name=":SS-Pt.1" /> They can learn to speak tones that shift the sea. They are highly magical creatures and it is stated that they can sense magic, like someone casting [Message] in Kraken’s Pass.<ref name=":8.40 CTV" /> They can even learn to dispel magic, which is how they could fight Dragons on equal grounds.<ref name=":0" />

Krakens can be clever, inventive, and adaptive. They are able to multitask with their many arms.<ref name=":0" />
===Habitats and Lairs===

Kraken are sea based creatures that inhabit and hunts in the deeps. When they hunt their preys, such as [[Sea Serpents]], they will cash them all the way to the surface.<ref name=":7.49">[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/09/23/7-49/ Chapter 7.49]</ref> It is at this time when they are on the move that is the most dangerous for everyone else, as they can attack in any place the sea’s deep enough.<ref name=":SS-Pt.1" />

They make their lairs in a vast, vast trench, miles deep, which is called '''Kraken’s Pass'''. In their lairs there is always at least one Kraken asleep. Krakens protect their nests by creating walls of protective bile, which are harder than steel.<ref name=":0" /> Everyone from sailors to [[Drowned People]] stay away from them, and remain as quiet as possible, lest they awaken a Kraken and be attacked by it.<ref name=":SS-Pt.1" />

Kraken’s Pass is so dangerous that not even [[Teriarch]], an ancient Dragonlord, believed that he couldn't dive in and hope to emerge unscathed.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/05/27/7-25/ Chapter 7.25]</ref>

=== Behaviour ===
Krakens are known to hibernate for centuries.

Krakens lay clutches of eggs when reproducing. They will rear young Krakens for a while.<ref name=":0" />
