The ''' | The '''Kraken''' (クラーケン ''Kurāken''), also known as the '''Space Kraken''', is a new boss introduced in ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''. As its name suggests, it is a massive octopus-like creature that can swim through the [[Galactic Sea]]. Based on remarks made in the game, it seems that 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. | ||

'''PAL Version''': ''This massive beast journeys through the darkness of the Galactic Sea. Long ago, it was attracted by the lights of the battle between Pit and the Space Pirates, and decided to attack. When those pirates caught sight of the beast, they dropped the macho act pretty quickly.'' | |||
