The Kraken is an enemy found in the Hardmode Aquatic Depths biome. Like an Octopus, it swims slowly towards the player to attack, where the tentacles closest to the player will extend and deal contact damage. It can only be damaged by attacking the main body. The tentacles can also pass through blocks and deal damage. The tentacles deal higher damage and have longer stretching arms than those of the Octopus, and apply the Blackout debuff to hit players.
