Kraken are a Chimeran strain that first appears in Resistance 2.
Kraken are large, aquatic creatures with four-pronged mouths and multiple, drill-like tentacles. Their tentacles can also split into three, finger-like appendages at the ends.
The first and only appearance of this creature was in the single player campaign of Resistance 2 at the underwater SPRA base at San Francisco, though references to it as "a Kraken" give reason to believe that there are others. The Kraken smashed holes in the base in an attempt to flood it, and when Nathan Hale escaped the base, he fought it from the water's surface.
The Kraken attacked using its tentacles and rammed the platform Hale was on, attempting to swallow him, while it would also dive underwater to evade his attacks. Hale endured its attacks and killed it with a Pulse Cannon when it attempted to swallow Hale.
[edit] Trivia
- The name Kraken is related to the mythical giant squid-like creature that was believed to terrorize and sink ships on the high seas.
