TheKraken is a legendary, monstrouscephalopod-like sea monster inKingdom Hearts III. It originated from Disney'sPirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.

Story[edit]

Kingdom Hearts III[edit]

Tia Dalma mentions the Kraken was the one who draggedJack Sparrow and his belovedPearl to the Locker, and that most who hear of it tend to run for shore to avoid its wrath. During the battle against theDutchman,Luxord calls upon the Kraken to remove thePearl from "the game", forcingSora's ship to fire on the beast to free the vessel. During the fight on theDutchman, the Kraken's tentacles lash out at the heroes when they gain the upper hand againstDavy Jones.

Design[edit]

The Kraken is a gargantuan, cephalopod-like monster. While it is never seen fully, the only visible parts are its grey tentacles, which resemble that of a squid.

Strategy[edit]

Only the Kraken's tentacles holding thePearl are very vulnerable. The ones being used as barriers are much tougher, and requite a lot of time to wear down; this however, is a very poor choice, as it will allow the Kraken to crush thePearl uninterrupted. TheFlying Dutchman also assists the Kraken by firing on theLeviathan from different angles.

The best method is to fire at the gaps in the Kraken's tentacles to damage it. Take out theDutchman by firing on its orbs, powering up the ship's bombarding attacks and use them on the Kraken to deal a huge amount of damage at once. Make use of the barrier to hold off fire from theDutchman, and then retaliate with cannon fire to allow time to fire at the Kraken.

Origin[edit]

The Kraken first appeared as an antagonist in the 2006 filmPirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. It is based on themythological entity of the same name. In the film, Davy Jones has the power to summon it and use it to attack whatever he commands, due to Davy Jones's power to mark those who owed him debt with a black spot. The Kraken destroys two ships; the first is theEdinburgh Trader, which Will Turner is on. It later destroys theBlack Pearl, in which it seems to swallow and kill Jack Sparrow, although it took him to Davy Jones' Locker. InPirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, Davy Jones is forced to kill the Kraken under the orders of Lord Cutler Beckett, who controls his heart.
