    Last they were originally supposed to be giant crabs, they became octopi later and even later squids.

    Character idea: Once a powerful hero showed up and slew several Kraken singlehandedly. One Kraken witnessed this and decided that true power might be obtained through a smaller harder to hit frame, all power gathered internally rather than externally. So the Kraken takes on a humanoid shape and seeks out mortals to learn more about their own unique type of strength.

    I never got why Krakens are always shown to be huge squids. Considering old Norse descriptions mention nostrils, jaws and even call them "fish". Later descriptions even describe them as "leviathan", who is serpent like. The idea of a giant squid seems to be a recent thing. A lot of the historic paintings of Kraken, aren't even of Kraken, they're of giant squid and were at the time a separate species. All this being said, I like the new 5th edition Kraken body shape. It allows more versatility and is a bit more original than X species of real animal made giant which is way too common in fantasy as a whole. I really, really like the idea that Kraken modify and alter themselves to get stronger too, makes them much better as a recurring enemy .

    Thankyou MrRhexx, you have given me a way to explain the presence of an ancient underwater horror (known as the Keeper of the Deep) in my canpaign. I can substitute the Great Unbeheld for it. It's desire to collect things of interest would also explain it's "guarding"of the big appendage.

    Something that always has bugged me for a long time is that the Aboleth is meant to be a being who remembers all, used to rule the world and all that crazy shit. There is also stories of the Aboleth creating Krakens - a creature FAR stronger then itself. It just bugs me that the Aboleth, while yes a powerful and scary enemy, is still just a DC 10. Something, I wouldn't be too scared about tossing at my players when they are around level 8-9 maybe even lower (depending on party size/comp).

    I think thats just normal Gamer-feelings, searching for the biggest fish in the sea to test your mettle on...also could be an amazing campaign. Maybe start it like Shadow over Innsmouth, a town full of fishermen who look just...off. In truth though they all worship a kraken as their god and bring him slaves in exchange for good catches. Add a cult in and you have a nice hook for a campaign against a normal kraken first, which then leads the party deeper and deeper into the ocean, until finally they stand face to face with the Great Unbeheld. ...and as the skies go pitch black, only illuminated by the violent clashes of lightning, the towering mountain of a leviathan slowly opens his eyes, staring right at the party as it unravels its mighty tentacles, rising from the bed of the sea, creating riptides and whirlpools while it ascends out of the darkest trenches in which it waited so long to finally awaken when the time is right. As the monstrous behemoth finally breaks throug the oceans surface, a tidal wave forms, rippling through all the seven seas, flooding lands, sinking centuries old citaldels and unmaking entire kingdoms as the water rolls across the land. While the party make it to a small rock formation that was spared by the tsunami, all they can see is darkness, as the hulking figure of the Great Unbeheld reaches through the clouds, blocking out the sun in its entirety while its two red eyes, bigger then the moon, look down upon the soon to be flooded planet. All that is standing in his way...are your players...this is a do or die situation, everything is said, words are superfluous now...it is time to roll initiative and decide the fate of the world!! ...obviously this is an Epic level campaign, but that was obvious

    “ The day was a slow one, hot and windless, and we sat a drift on that god forsaken sea for near a fortnight before we so much as felt a salty breeze on our brows. It was on the fifteenth day at sea that it appeared. Firstly, the winds that had thus far scorned our vessel was whipped into a frenzied gale. So great were the forces of the storm, that the mast of the ship bent to the point of destruction, snapping and splintering into a hail of wooden needles that rained down claiming the lives of two deckhands. It was not long after this that the second calamity befell us. The sea, which had been in a state of dead calm not but the night before, writhed as if alive and trying desperately to escape its bondage. Waves, taller than any I have seen in my twenty seafaring years, crashed around us, threatening to smash our iron enforced hull like rotted driftwood. By this time, between the thrashing waves and hollowing gusts, the sea around us appeared to boil, as if the gates of the nine hells had been opened by some arch-demon. It was then, amongst the battering waves and cutting gale that we met our fourth and final doom. Great and terrible arms reached up from the deep, each one lines with suckers and tipped with jagged barbs that even the most vile creatures of the Underdark would recoil from at the sight of them. The four hellish appendages rose to greet us in our hour of despair, coiling tightly around the length of our only salvation, for if the ship was lost to the sea, we would all surely perish. And so it was. The beastly arms needed but to twist only once, and our vessel was torn asunder. Iron and wood exploded violently outwards, shredded as easily as snapping tinder for the fire, and all hands were lost to the unforgiving depths. My memory of that dark day ends there, for the next thing I can recall clearly is being found washed ashore, beaten and bloodied, and near half dead from lack of water and food. You may think me daft or crazed, but I tell you I ain’t. I’ve seen the beasts of the deep, I’ve seen the one they call Kraken, and I tell you, sure as I live, that those monsters will be the end of us all. Gods help us! Gods help us all!!” Testament of Ishtar Mally, first mate and sole survivor of the disappearance of the merchant ship Red Dawn.

I am currently running Storm King's Thunder and the Cult of the Kraken plays a big part of our game. In my canon the Kraken was the right hand of Anman, the one eyed Allfather God of the Giants. They helped to fight elementals and powerful beings as the Giants helped to form the Material world. Once the war was over and peace and come, the Gods saw that the Kraken had many children and was dominating the seas. The Giants betrayed the Kraken and all its offspring, and several millennia later the Original Alpha Kraken is still healing but ready to exact revenge upon the world.

There's so much more about the monsters in the MM book than the info that the book gives off,and they can heighten the experience of the players if they can use that information to their advantage.And as a DM,i must know said information so that i know what my players are trying to do,that's why these videos are way more helpful than a handful of people might think.
