Bestiary entry

"A powerful creature lurking beneath the ocean's surface that sports 8 arms and 8 grudges against the surface world."

The Kraken is a Hardmode enemy found in the Aquatic Depths biome. Like an Octopus, it swims slowly towards the player to attack, where the tentacles closest to the player will extend and deal contact damage. It can only be damaged by attacking the main body. The tentacles can also pass-through blocks and deal damage. The tentacles deal higher damage and have longer stretching arms than those of the Octopus and apply the Blackout debuff to hit players.

Notes

• The Kraken will only spawn if the following conditions are fulfilled:
  • The player is not standing in front of a safe background wall.
  • The player has moved more than 3 pixels per second for at least 5 seconds.
    • Infinite flight like with the Witch's Broom or the Soaring Insignia counts as movement. Auto-jumping accessories such as the Frog Leg and similar items that make the player move also count as movement. Furthermore, using Minecarts or Conveyor Belts counts as movement as well.

Trivia

• The Kraken is a mythical creature, which resembles a giant squid known for attacking sailors at sea.
