Combat
Krakens strike their opponents with their barbed tentacles, then grab and crush with their arms or drag victims into their huge jaws.
Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, the kraken must hit an opponent of up to Huge size with an arm or tentacle attack. If it gets a hold, it can constrict.
Constrict (Ex): A kraken deals automatic arm or tentacle damage with a successful grapple check against Huge or smaller creatures.
Jet (Ex): A kraken can jet backward once per round as a double move action, at a speed of 280 feet.
Ink Cloud (Ex): A kraken can emit a cloud of jet-black ink 80 feet high by 80 feet wide by 120 feet long once per minute as a free action. The cloud provides total concealment, which the kraken normally uses to escape a losing fight. Creatures within the cloud suffer the effects of total darkness.
Spell-Like Abilities: 1/day- control weather, control winds, dominate animal, and resist elements. These abilities are as the spells cast by a 9th-level druid (save DC 15 + spell level).
