|feature1=Amphibious
|flimit1=
|fdesc1={{SRD5trait}} The kraken can breathe air and water.

|feature2=Freedom of Movement
|flimit2=
|fdesc2={{SRD5trait}} The kraken ignores {{srd5lc|Difficult Terrain}}, and magical effects can’t reduce its {{srd5lc|Speed}} or cause it to be {{srd5lc|Restrained}}. It can spend 5 feet of movement to escape from nonmagical restraints or being {{srd5lc|Grappled}}.

|action1=Multiattack

|action2=Bite
|alimit2=
|adesc2={{SRD5trait}} ''{{SRD5|Melee Weapon Attack}}:'' +__ to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. ''Hit:'' __ (__d8+__) {{srd5lc|Piercing}} damage. If the target is a {{SRD5|Medium}} or smaller creature {{srd5lc|Grappled}} by the kraken, that creature is swallowed and the grapple ends. While swallowed, the creature is {{srd5lc|Blinded}} and {{srd5lc|Restrained}}, it has total cover against attacks and other effects outside the kraken, and it takes __ (__d6) {{srd5lc|Acid}} damage at the start of each of the kraken’s {{srd5lc|Turn}}s. One Medium or two smaller creatures can be swallowed at the same time.

If the kraken takes __ damage or more on a single turn from a creature inside it, the kraken must succeed on a {{SRD5|DC}} __ {{SRD5|Constitution}} {{srd5lc|Saving Throw}} at the end of that turn or regurgitate all swallowed creatures, which fall prone in a space within 10 feet of the kraken. If the kraken dies, a swallowed creature is no longer restrained by it and can escape from the corpse using 10 feet of movement, exiting {{srd5lc|Prone}}.

|action3=Tentacle
|alimit3=
|adesc3={{SRD5trait}} ''Melee Weapon Attack:'' +__ to hit, {{srd5lc|Reach}} 20 ft., one target. ''Hit:'' __ (__d6+__) {{srd5lc|Bludgeoning}} damage, and the target is grappled (escape DC __). Until this grapple ends, the target is {{srd5lc|Restrained}}. The kraken has ten tentacles, each of which can grapple one target.

|action4=Fling
|alimit4=
|adesc4={{SRD5trait}} One {{SRD5|Medium}} or smaller object held or creature grappled by the kraken is thrown up to 40 feet in a random direction and knocked {{srd5lc|Prone}}. If a thrown target strikes a solid surface, the target takes __ (__d6) bludgeoning damage for every 10 feet it was thrown. If the target is thrown at another creature, that creature must succeed on a DC __ {{SRD5|Dexterity}} saving throw or take the same damage and be knocked prone.

|action5=Lightning Strike
|alimit5=
|adesc5=

|legend1=Tentacle Attack
|lgdlimit1=
|lgddesc1=The kraken makes one tentacle attack.

|legend2=Fling
|lgdlimit2=
|lgddesc2=The kraken uses {{iplink|Fling}}.

|legend3=Ink Cloud
|lgdlimit3=Costs 3 Actions
|lgddesc3={{SRD5trait}} While underwater, the kraken expels an ink cloud in a 40-foot radius. The cloud spreads around corners, and that area is {{srd5lc|Heavily Obscured}} to creatures other than the kraken. Each creature other than the kraken that ends its turn there must succeed on a DC __ {{SRD5|Constitution}} saving throw, taking __ (_d10) {{srd5lc|Poison}} damage on a failed save, or half{{5ertrd}} as much damage on a successful one. A strong current disperses the cloud, which otherwise disappears at the end of the kraken’s next turn.
