Le Poulpe Colossal 1801 Blue Notebook

Le Poulpe Colossal 1801 Blue public domain "Le Poulpe Colossal" by malacologist Pierre Denys de Montfort, 1801, from the descriptions of French sailors reportedly attacked by such a creature off the coast of Angola. The Kraken is often described as a giant octopus or giant squid, and is said to dwell off the coasts of Norway and Greenland. The Kraken is said to have the power to attack ships and drag sailors down to their deaths. The legend of the Kraken can be traced back to Norse seafarers and fisherman, who told tales of a giant sea monster that dwelled off the coast. They described it as a giant creature with tentacles that could drag ships and sailors down to the depths of the ocean. The creature's size was said to be so large that it was able to create huge whirlpools, which sailors would avoid at all costs.
