The krakenmander is a devastatingly powerful beast. This monstrosity lives in the murkiest depths of the Black Sea and only comes out to eat and prey on it’s unsuspecting victims. The krakenmader is a fully aquatic cephalopod breathing using gills on each side of it’s face.

This beast largely resembles a squid in many ways but with a long serpentine tail that it swipes to make deathly waves. Furthermore, it’s head and it’s tentacles are both bogey green in colour with knobbles and creases covering them. Generally, these beasts have a large demonic beak, which is as black as the night sky. The inside is as a red as blood. The main concern about the way it looks is that each tentacle has hooks inside it’s suckers. Interestingly, each hook seems to be as strong as an iron sword so nothing can destroy them. The public are concerned that the krakenmander may eat all the fish in the sea, leaving nothing for fishermen to find due to it being 100 feet long, weighing 17 tonnes and eating 1500 fish a day minimum. In addition to these facts about it’s appearance, the krakenmander is a swift swimmer, almost being as quick as a sailfish.

The krakenmander only live in deep trenches, such as the Mariana Trench. They only come up at night to devour every fish they can. They are rarely seen by human eyes but if they are you would certainly know about it. Each trench can only house 5 krakenmanders because they are very solitary creatures who prefer to live far apart from other krakenmaders. Each krakenmander would need at least 5km of territory to live in otherwise there would be territorial wars under the sea. They tend to be found in the Black Sea mostly but have also been known to live in both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans but as they are rarely seen there have not been many recent sightings reported. Curiously, despite being very powerful and dangerous they do tend to try and hurt humans and instead stay as unseen as possible. They rarely attack humans.

These creatures are under threat due to over fishing in the Black Sea and other oceans. Although we have said that they could be dangerous or annoying to fisherman (eating all their catch) the actual problem is that fishermen are killing them by taking away their food sources and even hunting them. The other reasons some fishermen hunt them, apart from because they are eating all their fish, is that they like to remove the hooks on their suckers to provide them as weapons for the army. They can get up to £200 per hook. They are indestructible. It is thought that krakenmanders when eaten taste like sushi, making them a delicacy in some cultures. If you would like to help save this unique creature then please spread the word about not eating krakenmander sushi in restaurants and encourage fishermen to leave them alone.
