The '''Galactic Fiend Kraken''', also known as 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. Unlike the typical octopus, the Space Kraken also only has four tentacles that are long enough to help it climb out of water. 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]]. | The '''Galactic Fiend Kraken''' (星獣クラーケン ''Hoshi-jū Kurāken'', literally meaning "Star Beast Kraken"), also known as the '''Space Kraken''', is a new boss introduced in ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''.
