The kraken is a huge sea monster from old stories, especially from Norway and nearby places. People used to believe it lived deep in the ocean and looked like a giant squid or octopus. They said it was so big, it could be mistaken for an island, and that it could pull ships underwater with its long tentacles. Sailors were very afraid of it, and they told scary stories about seeing it at sea. Today, we know the kraken isn’t real, but the idea might have come from real sea creatures like the giant squid. Even though it’s just a myth, the kraken is still popular in movies, video games, and books. It’s often shown as a huge, powerful monster from the deep ocean.
