The '''Galactic Fiend Kraken''', also known as the '''Space Kraken''' or '''Star Beast Kraken''' in Japan (星獣クラーケン, ''Hoshi-jū Kurāken''), is a new boss introduced in ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''. As its name suggests, it is a massive octopus creature that can swim in the oceans of space. The creature has a unique technological design with numerous digital membranes lining its head and parts of its tentacles. Unlike the typical octopus, the Space Kraken also only has four tentacles that are long enough to help it climb out of space dust. 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 encounters one in the game. It is the boss of Chapter 8, ''[[The Space-Pirate Ship]]'' where Pit fights it atop the [[Space Pirate Ship]] deck.

==Characteristics==
===Appearance===
The Space Kraken is a colossal cephalopod-like creature inhabiting the Galactic Sea. Its skin is predominantly red with a white underbelly with blue digital membranes running down its belly and the underside its long four tentacles. It has blue fins on its head and tentacles that are decorated with numerous pink dots. The sclera of its eyes are black with numerous yellow dots decorating it. Its lamprey mouth is lined with razor sharp teeth.
===Abilities===
Described as the apex predator of the Galactic Sea, the Kraken is a powerful monster. Its tentacles are long enough to help it climb out of the Galactic Sea and strong enough to help wrap itself around the Space Pirate Ship. According to its trophy description in ''Smash 4'', the Kraken is said to have keen eyesight, able to detect the faintest ripples of light from even great distances. Likewise, its own idol description claims it to have an equally keen sense of smell, being able to sniff out Pit's fight with the Space Pirates.
For offensive purposes, the Kraken mainly fights using its four tentacles. It also has the ability to fire water from its mouth, either in bubbles or as a large stream of pressurized water. It can also fire small yellow laser arrows from its eyes and when the prey is close enough, crush it under its massive weight.

The Kraken is to be defeated in two stages, the only boss to do so. The first stage involves Pit defeating its four tentacles one at a time. They must be shot at numerously, with the final blow releasing [[heart]]s. The tentacles attack by throwing themselves over the angel or by ''punching'' Pit. Once all down, the Kraken's head pops up. The creature has five methods of attack. Its basic move is shooting a couple of water bubbles that are easily dodged. Light arrows coming from it's eyes are avoidable but hard to predict. The Kraken also fires a massive water burst from left to right or up to down. These are slightly easier to dodge but the most damaging attack. However, if the player walks up close to the head, the creature will throw itself over and crush Pit beneath. This, while extremely predictable, is a hefty price to pay for getting too close. Once the Galactic Fiend receives enough ranged attacks, it will go down allowing Pit to take the [[Three Sacred Treasures Case]] at ease.
The Kraken makes its appearance in Chapter 8. After Pit manages to fight his way to the deck of the Space Pirate Ship, he is confronted by the [[Space Pirate Captain]] who angrily shouts for reinforcements. Before either of them could do anything, however, the Kraken appeared, drawn to the three-way battle between Pit, the Space Pirates, and the [[Underworld Army]]. The Kraken promptly devours the Captain and then engages Pit in battle. After an arduous fight, Pit manages to slay the Galactic Fiend and reclaim the [[Three Sacred Treasures]] while the beast sinks into the Galactic Sea, taking the Space Pirate Ship with it.


In ''[[The Three Trials]]'', [[Dyntos]] made a copy of the kraken in which [[Pit]] must fight.
In Chapter 24, ''[[The Three Trials]]'', [[Dyntos]] creates a copy of the Kraken in which [[Pit]] must fight to complete titular trials and claim the [[Great Sacred Treasure]].

''A hulking leviathan making its home in the Galactic Sea. People, monsters, and even starships are no match for the Kraken's gaping maw. The scent of Pit's battle with the Space Pirates piques the monster's hunger, endangering everyone.''
