Kraken

First apperance: Ultima I

Last apperance: Ultima VII/2



Description

Every sailor must befare of these huge beasts at sea. The Kraken attacks ships which it feels are disturbing it, but people near the shore also aren't safe from it's tantacles, which lash out at everything moving. To fight against these things is hard and only the most powerful warriors can win in such a duel.

Kraken roam the open sea and many smaller waters.

Evolution in the series

In the Ultimas I, it is called a Giant Squid, in Ultima III a Man-o-War, in Ultima IV and V Squid, in Ultima VI Giant Squid, But the act all the same. In Ulitma VII and VII/2, this changes, and only one tentacle of the Kraken is seen, which also can be fought from land (It can't attack ships any more).
