Kraken (Extinction)

The Kraken is the new boss in the Extinction level Mayday. It is somewhat similar to the Breeder in Nightfall because it is huge and the second boss in Extinction. The Kraken is the biggest boss in the Extinction game mode so far, being described as four hundred feet tall.

Appearence
The Kraken has the looks of a giant squid, except much more terrifying. Each of its' enormous tentacles is topped with fleshy beaks that will snap at and attempt to bite players that stray to close. It has a huge head, with a gigantic gaping mouth filled with razor sharp teeth. It's skin is white, like all the other cryptids, and it's eyes and pores glow with a ghostly orange light, similar to that of other cryptids (excluding the Phantom, which glows purple and blue) and alongside all these features, the Kraken is very large, almost the size of the ship, in fact.

Attacks
During the mini boss fights, where the Kraken's tentacles penetrate the walls of the ship, the tentacle won't do much. It will repetitively slam against the side of the ship, shaking the players screen (along with the ship). If the player gets too close to the tentacle though, it will lash out, and try to bite. During the final fight, where the Kraken itself emerges from the depths and faces players head on, a number of attacks are displayed. It will entangle its' tentacles around, hitting players and snapping at them too. The Kraken can also shake the ship. It is best for players to keep a safe distance, staying out of range of the beast's tendrils, which will wrap around players, and knock them off their feet. Alongside this, the beast can let out a monstrous roar, that will blur the player's vision and shake the screen slightly. The Kraken can also use an acid attack similar to the Breeder's, except it coats the ship floor entirely, severely hurting anyone not on a cryptid hive substance. The best way to take down the Kraken as of yet is to utilize the remote controlled Minigun turrets which are safe from the acid floor and fire at the glowing red dot on the forehead of the Kraken or straight into its mouth. When defeated, it will rear up and screech into the air before slamming into the side of the ship as the ghostly glow of its mouth and eyes fades and it sinks into the ocean.
