Kraken (Final Fantasy)

Kraken is the Fiend of Water from the original Final Fantasy. He appears in the Sunken Shrine and bears a squid-like form, though his cape and stance give him a somewhat regal appearance. Two hundred years before the game, as the second Fiend to awaken, Kraken sank the Water Crystal's shrine to the ocean floor, whereupon the seas raged as the Crystal was drained of its power.
His recurring, trademark laughter is "Oh, ho, ho, ho". It is in the original Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy IV: The After Years, and Dissidia Final Fantasy.

== Battle ==
=== First battle ===
Kraken relies on heavy physical attacks, as he can hit up to 8 times. He supports with Ink to inflict darkness status on the party, which will not only make it harder for physical attacks to hit him, but potentially increases the number of hits he can deal against blinded party members.
Kraken is vulnerable to lightning-based attacks. The player should cast Protera and Invisira and keep the healing up while striking with Thundaga and strong physical attacks, which can be bolstered by using Haste and Temper.
=== Second battle ===
As with the other fiends of the past, Kraken has improved stats and loses his weakness to lightning. He gains the ability to use Thundara.
While generally stronger, Kraken has changed very little, and the same tactics still work. The second Kraken battle may be easier as the chance Kraken uses his powerful physical attacks is lowered, and Thundara is not a large threat. The party may opt to use a Blue Curtain or cast NulShock to defend against Thundara.
