The Meaning Of
Kraken
The Kraken (kra:ken)
The Kraken is a legendary sea creature of giant proportions thought to dwell in the deepest parts of the oceans. Its figure resembles that of a squid or octopus, and although a specimen has never been seen or captured, the legend continues to the present day.
