Fog Kraken Juvenile
Huge monstrosity, chaotic evil
Adult krakens never come this far up the channel, but their young hunt the fog banks of the Drift like cuttlefish in a bucket. What takes a sounding line in the grey is usually this, deciding whether the boat is food or toy.

Traits
Amphibious. The kraken can breathe air and water.
Ink Cloud Escape. When the kraken takes damage while in water, it can use its reaction to release ink. A 30-foot-radius sphere of ink spreads around it, heavily obscuring the area for 1 minute, and the kraken can move up to half its swim speed. It cannot use this trait again until it finishes a short rest.
Actions
Multiattack. The kraken makes three tentacle attacks.
Tentacle. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 17 (3d8 + 4) bludgeoning damage, and the target is grappled (escape DC 15) if it is Large or smaller. The kraken has six tentacles, each of which can grapple only one creature.
