The Tentacled One

Qyrl to the Rokea and Dagon to the mer, the Tentacled One is a creature of nightmare. The Rokea see her as mother to all spineless, soft creatures of the ocean, parent to jellies, octopi and squids. Garou Galliards recount the name of Kraken, and murmur that the Tentacled One is the underwater head of the Hydra. Mer legends (as well as a few human occult texts) paint this horrible entity as a dread, primordial thing that lies in wait for the time to return to the land where it was worshipped as the god it was. In all cases, the Kraken is seen as an entity of corruption and malevolence, a creature vaster than an island and impossibly old. It is known to have a fierce rivalry with its “sibling,” the Fish Bearer, and their struggles color the legends of mer and Rokea alike.
