Krake

Krakes are massive, underwater leviathans that live in the oceans of Omadius. They are some of the most dangerous creatures in the world, and take heavy cannon fire to defeat.

Description
Krakes are dangerous, immense sea creatures that resemble sea scorpions. They have long, segmented bodies covered in bluish-cyan armor that mimics the color of the sea, allowing them to use primordial camouflage to disguise themselves. Krakes have two, large pincers that they use to grab and hold onto objects, mostly prey that they devour with large mouth parts with razor-like pieces to slice into flesh. Along their bodies are sharpened legs that act as tools that they use to propel themselves through the water, or hang onto rock and coral to stop them from floating away in the current. Their long tail ends in a paddle-like appendage which also helps them swim. Krakes, when on dry land, can spit an acidic substance that melts through armor and slows down opponents, although they rarely use this.

History
It is thought that stories of sea monsters devouring entire ships at sea were early reports of Krakes hunting for prey, and mistaking passing ships as prey. Some early manuscripts report Krakes being able to expel fire from their mouths which burns like a thousand suns, but in reality this is just their acid spit that can easily melt through armor and incapacitate prey from moving.

Trivia

 * Originally, Krakes were going to be replaced by Krakens, which would be massive octopus-like creatures with spiked tentacles, but they were replaced with the more menacing visage of a giant sea scorpion.
