The Space Kraken is a new boss introduced in Kid Icarus: Uprising. As its name suggests, it is a massive octopus creature that can swim the oceans of space. The creature has a unique technological design with numerous digital membranes lining its head and parts of its tentacles. Based on remarks made in the game, it seems that Space Krakens are actually a species of monster that live in space, although Pit only appears to encounter one in the game. It is the boss of Star Ship of the Heavens where Pit fights it atop the Space Pirate Ship.

Trivia

  • The Space Kraken is based on the legendary Kraken, said to be a massive squid-like monster of Norse mythology.
  • The Space Kraken bears a striking resemblance to Octoroks of the Legend of Zelda series, having a similar color scheme and mouth structure.
  • Because it resembles Octoroks, it also resembles Octoombas from Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 where it was a direct reference to Octoroks and also appeared in space.
