Kraken

The Kraken is a gargantuan cephalopod created by Ashalla who occupies the oceans of Galbar. Ashalla uses it to enforce her promises of protection to sea-going vessels and creatures, or to deliver judgement on such entities in her absence.
== Description ==
The Kraken is patterned after a giant cuttlefish. Most of its body is composed of a large calcium carbonate cuttlebone, which protects internal organs and is used to control buoyancy. The Kraken has many tentacles of varying lengths, each lined with toothed suckers. The longest tentacles end in barbed clubs.
The Kraken can spew out a thick cloud of black ink, obscuring the water around it.
The Kraken can regrow (at a natural pace) any tentacles it loses.
Like a cuttlefish, the Kraken can change its colour, pattern and texture at will, and it can mildly distort its body shape. The Kraken also has bioluminescent cells which it can control just as it can control its colour. This allows the Kraken to make dazzling displays and to camouflage itself.
== History ==
The Kraken was created by Ashalla in response to the attack on the Zhengwu by a Leviathan Angler, after Ashalla had promised the ship safe passage in her ocean. She gave the Kraken the following command: "Kraken, you are to enforce my blessings of safe passage. Ensure that no beast of the sea harms those to whom I have promised safety. You are to enact vengeance on any creature which defies such decrees. Now go to the Zhengwu and ensure no other creatures attack the ship. Suffer no Leviathan Anglers in your presence. I will speak to you again if I have more commands."Ashalla creates the Kraken - https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4882094
As the Zhengwu departed from Tendlepog, the Kraken was spotted by the Zhengwu crew including Arya, who mistook it for another Leviathan Angler and fled. The Kraken returned the following morning and showed itself. Qiang Yi identified it as friendly, but the rest of the crew panicked. Zeng En almost harpooned the Kraken, but Qiang Yi intervened. The Kraken departed shortly afterwards.The Kraken appears to the Zhengwu - https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4901954
Much later, the Kraken hid from the fearsome bombardment from Veradax in the depths. It then found Chuanwang swimming through the sea, with Mengcheng on his back. The Kraken inquired as to who they were, where they were going and where they had come from, and received answers from Wenbo. The Kraken quietly lurked around Chuanwang for a time.The Kraken meets Chuanwang/Mengcheng/Wenbo - https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4985938
