is kraken real

 These are certainly mythical tales. But the Kraken legends may have been based on a real creature: the giant squid. Giant squid have long tentacles and can grow up to 40-50 feet in length. They usually live deep in the sea.

The Kraken was said to haunt the seas of Norway, Greenland, and Iceland. Seafarer sightings of the Kraken took place in the 1700s, but it was first recorded by King Sverre of Norway in 1180. Kraken mythology said that the Kraken was a creature so large that it could be mistaken for an island.

There have been several reported sightings of mysterious sea creatures over the last hundred years, but there is no conclusive evidence to suggest that any of these sightings were of the legendary Kraken or another similar monster.
