Traits

Action Recovery

Whenever the kraken starts its turn, any dazing, stunning, or dominating effect on it ends.

Aquatic

In aquatic combat, the kraken gains a +2 bonus to attack rolls against nonaquatic creatures.

Crushing Grasp

When the kraken starts its turn, each creature grabbed by it or a ghost tentacle within 10 squares of the kraken takes 10 damage.

Ghost Tentacles

Whenever the kraken starts its turn with fewer than four ghost tentacles within 20 squares of it, a number of tentacles appear so that the number of tentacles within 20 squares of it equals four. The tentacles roll initiative when they appear, acting on their own turns.
