Kraken Physiology

"Below the thunders of the upper deep,

Far, far beneath in the abysmal sea,

His ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep

The Kraken sleepeth: faintest sunlights flee

About his shadowy sides; above him swell

Huge sponges of millennial growth and height;

And far away into the sickly light,

From many a wondrous grot and secret cell

Unnumbered and enormous polypi

Winnow with giant arms the slumbering green.

There hath he lain for ages, and will lie

Battening upon huge sea worms in his sleep,

Until the latter fire shall heat the deep;

Then once by man and angels to be seen,

In roaring he shall rise and on the surface die."

― Alfred Tennyson, The Kraken

Capabilities

The user either is or can transform into a Kraken, legendary sea monsters of giant proportions that normally live at great depths, but have been sighted at the surface and have reportedly attacked ships.

Kraken have been depicted in a number of ways, primarily as large octopus-like creatures, in the earliest descriptions, however, the creatures were more crab-like than octopus-like, and generally possessed traits that are associated with large whales rather than with giant squid. Regardless of their form, kraken are vast enough to be mistaken for islands and cause serious risk for ships, not only because they sometimes attack, but because their size causes even their smallest movements to displace enough water to cause severe water movements, creating sudden dangerous currents and whirlpools.
