The Kraken | Scourge of the Sea

The ocean has no shortage of giant animals, both real and fictional. Perhaps the most famous of the mythical monsters said to inhabit the deep waters of the world is the kraken of Scandinavian lore. Appearing like a monstrous squid-like creature, the kraken is one of the largest monsters ever imagined, large enough to topple large ships with ease, create huge whirlpools as it dived into the water, or even large enough to be mistaken as a small island when it moored itself. Could the kraken be based off a real life animal? Or maybe something else?
