Kraken

Kraken is an Invader Monster in King of Tokyo.

Appearance
Kraken is a large aquatic humanoid with green skin. It has a face resembling a squid with a tentacle mouth, and tentacles instead of legs. It also has one crab-like claw, and one human hand.

Dark Kraken is mostly monochrome, with sea green elements. The overall design is more 'wild' than the first edition equivalent/ The head still resembles a sea creature, but now has four eyes rather than two and a large fin on top. It has a larger tentacle instead of a human hand on its left arm. While the torso is still roughly human, it now has visible ribs with a green glow emanating from underneath. The leg tentacles are also larger and thicker.

Variants

 * First Edition Kraken
 * Dark Kraken

Trivia

 * Kraken's design is probably inspired by Cthulhu, a monster from HP Lovecraft's mythos. A direct Cthulhu was later added in the first monster pack.
 * Kraken was one of the two monsters removed in the second edition of King of Tokyo. This may have been to make room for Space Penguin, who was a popular promo monster. Kraken was likely chosen to be removed as Monster Pack - Cthulhu was already in planning.
 * According to promo art for King of Tokyo Dark, Kraken weighs 295,000 lb and has the subtitle "Lord of the Depths".
