Kraken

Tier 4 Solo. A legendary beast of the sea, bigger than the largest galleon, with sucker-laden tentacles and a terrifying maw.

  • Motives & Tactics: Consume, crush, drown, grapple
  • Difficulty: 20 | Thresholds: 35/70 | HP: 11 | Stress: 8
  • ATK: +7 | Tentacles: Close | 4d12+10 phy
  • Experience: Swimming +3

FEATURES

Relentless (3) - Passive: The Kraken can be spotlighted up to three times per GM turn. Spend Fear as usual to spotlight them.

Many Tentacles - Passive: While the Kraken has 7 or fewer marked HP, they can make their standard attack against two targets within range.

Grapple and Drown - Action: Make an attack roll against a target within Close range. On a success, mark a Stress to grab them with a tentacle and drag them beneath the water. The target is Restrained and Vulnerable until they break free with a successful Strength Roll or the Kraken takes Major or greater damage. While Restrained and Vulnerable in this way, a target must mark a Stress when they make an action roll.

Boiling Blast - Action: Spend a Fear to spew a line of boiling water at any number of targets in a line up to Far range. All targets must succeed on an Agility Reaction Roll or take 4d6+9 physical damage. If a target marks an Armor Slot to reduce the damage, they must also mark a Stress.

Momentum - Reaction: When the Kraken makes a successful attack against a PC, you gain a Fear.
