A Kraken is not even mythical. It’s fictional. It was from a movie a few years ago, Clash of the Titans.

The Kraken is a Scandinavian Mythological Seamonster of tremendous size of strength said to exist off the coasts of Norway and Greenland. Its tentacles are large enough to be able to pull entire Ships under the Water and destroy cities with relative ease. The Creature possessed endurance to match its strength.

The Kraken is first mentioned in the Örvar-Oddr, a 13th century Icelandic saga involving two sea monsters , the Hafgufa (sea mist) and the Lyngbakr (heather-back). The Hafgufa is believed to be a reference to the Kraken.

Around that time (circa 1250), another report about the Kraken was documented in the Norwegian scientific work Konungs skuggsja . It said that only two existed because they could not reproduce and would need so much food that they could not survive. That work goes on to describe the Kraken’s feeding habits, claiming that it would trap surrounding fish by stretching its neck with a belch, releasing food from its mouth. Other accounts suggest that the beast emitted a “strong and peculiar scent”, or perhaps poop, when it wanted to feed.

I’m aware of that. I was referring to Sydney Powell’s “Kraken.”

hmmm. “The Kraken is a legendary sea monster of giant size that is said to exist off the coasts of Norway and Greenland. It was first mentioned in an old Icelandic saga called Örvar-Oddr, which was written in the 13th century AD.”
