Kraken
Nordic monster, capitalized
A kraken is a legendary sea monster of enormous size, originating in Scandinavian folklore.
Descriptions typically depict a giant squid or octopus capable of dragging ships underwater.
The word now applies to any terrifyingly huge creature of the deep, real or imagined: The kraken emerged from the abyss.
In figurative use, releasing the kraken means unleashing something powerful and uncontrollable.
