| The '''Kraken''' is a stronger and larger version of the [[cave kraken]]. It requires level 87 [[Slayer]] to kill and cannot be boosted. Located at the [[Kraken Cove]], it can only be attacked if the player has cave krakens as a [[Slayer task]], which also requires level 50 [[Magic]]. Alongside its [[Cave kraken|non-boss variants]], it is the only monster that drops the [[trident of the seas]] and [[Kraken tentacle]]. | |

| Both the Kraken and its tentacles attack with magic; the Kraken can hit very hard, but has very poor accuracy, while the tentacles are much more accurate but deal less damage. The Kraken and its tentacles use [[Typeless]] Magic, and as such [[Protect from Magic]] does '''not''' provide any degree of damage reduction.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *The Kraken uses the same in-game model as the [[Sea Troll Queen]] from the [[Swan Song]] quest, but recoloured. Likewise, its tentacles also use the model of the [[Tentacle (Temple Trekking)|tentacles]] encountered in [[Temple Trekking]], also recoloured.
| |
| *Its examine text, the [[jar of dirt]] drop, and the [[abyssal tentacle]] are references to ''{{wp|Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest}}'' and its sequel ''{{wp|Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End|At World's End}}''.
| |
| *The Kraken had a festive override wearing a [[santa hat]] during the [[2016 Christmas event/Gallery|2016]], [[2017 Christmas event/Gallery|2017]], [[2018 Christmas event/Gallery|2018]], [[2019 Christmas event/Gallery|2019]], [[2020 Christmas event/Gallery|2020]], [[2021 Christmas event/Gallery|2021]], [[2022 Christmas event/Gallery|2022]], and [[2023 Christmas event/Gallery|2023]] Christmas events.
| |
| *The {{WP|Kraken}} is a mythological creature originating from Norse folklore.
| |
| *According to former ''Old School RuneScape'' content developer [[Mod Reach]], the Kraken's underwhelming damage output is due to what he described as a [[game engine]] [[bug]] that, despite his protests, [[Jagex]] ultimately decided to adopt as a feature of the boss.{{CiteVideo|author=Mod Shauny|title=In the Games Industry - An interview with ex-Mod Reach!|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i55LS-y1ULg&t=9683s|timestamp=2h41m23s|date=28 January 2020|site=|notes=|name=}}

The Kraken is a stronger and larger version of the cave kraken. Located at the Kraken Cove (::Kraken). It is the only monster that drops the trident of the seas.
Like its smaller brethren, the Kraken is submerged underwater. Magic is the only reliable way of dealing damage to it, as Ranged deals 1/7th of its normal damage, and it cannot be reached with Melee weapons. To start the fight, the four whirlpools around must first be disturbed; when all four whirlpools are disturbed, the larger one can be disturbed, which will result in the Kraken waking up. Both methods will release level 112 Enormous Tentacles, which attack with Magic.
Both the Kraken and its tentacles attack with magic; the Kraken can hit very hard, but has very poor accuracy, while the tentacles are much more accurate but deal less damage. The Kraken and its tentacles use Typeless Magic, and as such Protect from Magic does not provide any degree of damage reduction. The Kraken's projectile resembles Fire Wave.
Players can create a Kraken instance for 200 Pk Points. This fee can be deducted directly from the bank; players do not need to carry Pk points on them to create the instance.
