The Space Kraken, also known as the Galactic Fiend 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 The Space-Pirate Ship 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.
