Kraken

The Kraken is a large squid-like monster that lives in the ocean in The Sims 3: Island Paradise. It is a reference to the legendary sea monsters called Kraken. Sims may encounter the Kraken in the ocean. The Kraken doesn't appear often, but if Sims stay in a small boat too long, there is a 4% chance of seeing it. If a Sim has the "Friend of the Kraken" lifetime reward, they can click on an idling boat aside from houseboats and select "Release the Kraken!". The Kraken will attack the boat shortly after. Once this is done, the Kraken will require rest before it is commanded again. They may also see the Kraken near their houseboat if it's far from land. Kraken's attacks aren't life-threatening, but they will destroy boats.
There's a 1% chance that Sims might be attacked by the Kraken. The chance is increased by additional +1% if the Kraken has swum by a boat, the boat is nearby a hidden island, or during a heavy rain. Technically, the Kraken can only appear in a world where the ocean is deep enough, such as Isla Paradiso. It's worth noting that worlds in The Sims 3 mostly have shallow ocean, so the Kraken may not appear. However, it can sometimes appear in Sunset Valley or Lucky Palms if the player looks far enough out into the water.
It is strongly recommended you do not purchase the Friend of the Kraken lifetime reward as it does not work at all except for on idle boats, which are extremely rare to encounter unless it's your own Sim, and will waste 30,000 lifetime happiness points. In The Sims 4: Get Famous, the kraken also appears as a part of a Childs imagination when clicking "play" for the Water garden.
