The Book of Legends was written by an unknown sailor, he had been traveling the world to see the unknown and would write down those of what he saw.

Excerpt from Page 23:

Kraken
Found on Black Sand Beach on 1745.
Was able to get a close examination of the being as it has washed or beached itself for an unknown reason.
The krakens body is a dark, mixture of full on greens. It’s arms able to reach the lengths of a full mast, I am unsure if this means the creature was fully grown or not. The eye is of not of a cephalopods but very much human with a dark orange iris and black center. It’s “tail” almost resembles that of a whale. With small parts on the top being protective spines. The top of the tail is rigid with many bumps going down until it hits a sharp end. The sides show small thin flaps, similar to those of a cuttlefish but it’s body resembles that of an octopus, with the small tubes that are used to help it breath under the flaps to most likely hide them from predators

The arms themselves are incredibly thick, able to not be cut easily by even the easiest cutlass or cannon. A few of the larger arms show large amounts of damage, showing that it was caused by a large amount of gunpowder due to an explosion. The cups go all the way to the very tips of the arms, and are roughly the size of a mans face. I do not wish to know what poor souls had to face this being alone, let alone be attacked by it if it was enraged.

The mouth under the arms is unusual. Large parts show that it had an outer ring with 8 large mandables, the 2nd part had fleshy thin parts to move the teeth in until it was ready to open, and then the final is the ring of teeth that was used to chew up the prey it had caught or the souls it had eaten. the inside part of the teeth shows a large beak which is what all octopus and squid have.
