Kraken

==Location==
Somewhere in the Seven Seas
==Appearance==
The Kraken appears to be a massive squid, certain of its countless tentacles reaching analmost infinite distance, its one massive eve the size of a ship, and its mouth so large that itcould swallow several ships at once.
==Lair==
The Kraken sleeps in the deepest parts of the ocean until it is awoken.
==History==
The Kraken was a creature that first appeared in Mesopotamian tales, and later in the stories of the Greeks. It was widely known during the days of piracy on the high seas, and every man of every ship knew that there was something to fear that lived in the infinite depths between continents. It has not been seen or heard from since the early 1800’s.
==Modus Operandi==
The Kraken simply comes when it is called and destroys what it is told to destroy, dragging ships down with its great tentacles or just sitting below them and opening its mouth, creating huge whirlpools that can sink up to ten ships at a time. It then slinks back away to sleep until called upon again.
==Avatar==
The Kraken’s avatar is always a sailor who died an untimely death by drowning. The Kraken itself does not choose the avatar. Rather, it is a continuing ghostly line, the recipient of which is known as Davy Jones. When one Davy dies, another is created. He is technically Poseidon, although in a weakened state due to the fact that no one worships him any more, taking on the role of Davy Jones to both protect and eke out punishment to the maritime community. Rather than being controlled by the Kraken, as most avatars would be by their Horror, Davy controls the Kraken using a giant conch shell. Blowing into it will summon the Kraken, who will appear within five minutes to do the will of the holder of the Conch.
==Servants==
None
==Power==
The Kraken has two major abilities, despite being very large and deadly. It can appear within a five-minute swim of wherever the Conch is when it is blown, and it can create huge whirlpools by opening its mouth underneath the area to be affected.
==Summonation==
The Kraken can only be summoned by blowing the Conch, which is ordinarily in the possession of the entity known as Davy Jones.
==Offering==
The Kraken does not require offerings.
==Gifts==
The Kraken will only deliver death and destruction to the enemies of the holder of the Conch. It has no other supernatural abilities to use or grant.
==Cults==
There may be several small cults devoted to the Kraken, worshipping it because of its sheer size and horror. However, the Kraken doesn’t care about their existence and will not bother to respond to them (unless they have the Conch).
