Kraken

Kraken (/ˈkræ.kən/; dari Norwegia: krakencode: no is deprecated , /ˈkrɑː.kən/, "the crookie")^[2]^[3] adalah seekor monster laut legenda berukuran raksasa, yang menurut etimologinya terkadang berkerabat dengan sepalopoda, yang dikatakan muncul di Laut Norwegia di lepas pantai Norwegia. Legenda Kraken diyakini bermula dari penglihatan gurita raksasa, yang dapat tumbuh sampai sepanjang 105 meter (344 ft).^[4]

Kraken, sebagai subyek takhayul pelaut dan mitos, mula-mula dideskripsikan dalam glosarium Norwegia oleh Christen Jensøn pada 1646. Kemudian, makhluk tersebut muncul dalam catatan perjalanan oleh Francesco Negri pada 1700, disusul pada 1734 oleh sebuah catatan dari misionaris dan penjelajah Dano-Norwegia Hans Egede, yang mendeskripsiksn kraken secara mendetil dan menyamakannya dengan hafgufa dari abad pertengahan. Namun, deskripsi pertama dari makhluk tersebut biasanya dikaitkan dengan uskup Denmark Pontoppidan (1753). Ia mendeskripsikan kraken sebagao gurita (polypus) berukuran raksasa, dan menulis bahwa makhluk tersebut memiliki kebiasaan menenggelamkan kapal. Malakologis Prancis Denys-Montfort, pada abad ke-19, juga dikenal karena mempelopori penyelidikannya terhadap keberadaan gurita raksasa.
