The kraken, ;, is the most difficult of the sea monsters in NetHack. It possess the instadeath drowning attack, as with its lesser giant eel and electric eel brethren.
Kraken are sometimes a target of reverse genocide, as they are worth a high amount of experience points (even more than the Riders and below only that of some of the demon princes) and only have one hit point outside of water.
