Amphibious. The kraken can breathe air and water.
Legendary Resistance (3/Day, or 4/Day in Lair). If the kraken fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.
Siege Monster. The kraken deals double damage to objects and structures.
Multiattack. The kraken makes two Tentacle attacks. It can replace one attack with a use of (A) Fling, (B) Lightning Strike, or (C) Swallow.
Tentacle. Melee Attack Roll: +12, reach 20 ft. Hit: 24 (4d6 + 10) Bludgeoning damage. The target has the Grappled condition (escape DC 15) from one of ten tentacles, and it has the Restrained condition until the grapple ends.
Fling. The kraken throws a Large or smaller creature Grappled by it to a space it can see within 60 feet of itself that isn’t in the air. Dexterity Saving Throw: DC 20, the creature thrown and each creature in the destination space. Failure: 18 (4d8) Bludgeoning damage, and the target has the Prone condition. Success: Half damage only.
Lightning Strike. Dexterity Saving Throw: DC 18, one creature the kraken can see within 120 feet. Failure: 22 (4d10) Lightning damage. Success: Half damage.
Swallow. Dexterity Saving Throw: DC 20, one creature Grappled by the kraken (it can have up to three creatures swallowed at a time). Failure: 16 (2d8 + 7) Piercing damage. If the target is Large or smaller, it is swallowed and no longer Grappled. A swallowed creature has the Restrained condition, has Total Cover against attacks and other effects outside the kraken, and takes 21 (6d6) Acid damage at the start of each of its turns.
If the kraken takes 35 damage or more on a single turn from a creature inside it, the kraken must succeed on a DC 20 Constitution saving throw at the end of that turn or regurgitate all swallowed creatures, each of which falls in a space within 10 feet of the kraken with the Prone condition. If the kraken dies, any swallowed creature no longer has the Restrained condition and can escape from the corpse using 10 feet of movement, exiting Prone.
Legendary Action Uses: 3 (4 in Lair). Immediately after another creature’s turn, the kraken can expend a use to take one of the following actions. The kraken regains all expended uses at the start of each of its turns.
Storm Bolt. The kraken uses Lightning Strike.
Toxic Ink. Constitution Saving Throw: DC 18, each creature in a 15-foot Emanation originating from the kraken while it is underwater. Failure: The target has the Blinded and Poisoned conditions until the end of the kraken’s next turn. The kraken then moves up to its Speed. Failure or Success: The kraken can’t take this action again until the start of its next turn.
Lair and Lair Actions
Kraken Lairs
Kraken lairs tend to be sunken temples, eldritch ritual sites, or primeval places of divine power. They might lie deep beneath bodies of fresh or salt water, and they often connect to labyrinths of flooded subterranean tunnels or networks of magical portals.
The region containing a kraken’s lair is twisted by its presence, creating the following effects:
Ocean Tyrant. The kraken exerts its dominance over animals in its domain. All Beasts within 1 mile of the lair have the Charmed condition while in that area.
Sea and Storms. While in its lair, the kraken can cast Control Weather, requiring no spell components and using Intelligence as the spellcasting ability.
If the kraken dies or moves its lair elsewhere, these effects end immediately.
