In the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, the kraken is a large, ocean-dwelling magical beast. It is akin to a squid the size of a house. It is almost 80 feet long and 60 feet tall and wide. Its body is similar to that of a squid, with a ring of tentacles surrounding a mouth connected to a conical central body. Two of its 10 tentacles are longer than the rest, and bear deadly barbs. The kraken has very large eyes, and fins protrude from the upper part of its elongated central body. ==Publication history== The kraken appeared in the first edition of ''Advanced Dungeons & Dragons'' in the original ''Monster Manual II'' (1983). The kraken appeared in the ''Dungeons & Dragons'' ''Creature Catalogue'' (1986),〔Morris, Graeme, Phil Gallagher and Jim Bambra. ''Creature Catalogue'' (TSR, 1986)〕 and the ''Creature Catalog'' (1993).〔Nephew, John.
