Void Kraken

Bestiary entry by Aldric Shadowmark, Grand Hunters Lodge

Classification: Void Leviathan
Habitat: Ocean void rifts
Threat Level: Catastrophic

Description

In the deepest trenches where sunlight has never reached, void rifts open beneath the waves. From these tears in reality emerge the Void Krakens - tentacled horrors that dwarf the largest ships, their bodies composed of liquid darkness and hungry nothing.

Behavior

Void Krakens surface to feed on ships, crews, and coastal settlements. They drag prey into the depths where the void consumes them utterly. Fortunately rare, but sightings increase when the void grows strong.

Combat Notes

Naval engagement suicidal. Flee for shallow waters they cannot enter. Concentrated light magic from multiple casters may drive them back. Ancient sea-ward stones offer some protection to harbors.
