Alpha Kraken

The kraken is the dominant presence on the bottom of Theamuspar's vast oceans. A consistent threat to the people of Busea, as they control their territory with an ironfisted tentacle. The kraken uses its massive reach and imposing size to ensnare their prey with impunity. Kraken's are largely defensive creatures happy to establish their lairs live a quiet life at the peak of the food chain, they will only go on the full offensive when they feel truly threatened by invaders to their hunting grounds.   Alpha krakens on the other hand are migratory, traveling from place to place to hijack the territory of other krakens and dominate potential mating partners. Alpha krakens will absolutely ruin your day, highly aggressive and extremely ill tempered as they're known to even go so far as to dine on insolent krakens who aren't willing to 'bow' to the alpha's control.
