It was in the AD&D 2nd Edition Monster Manual called the Zaratan

Big turtle whose shell was an island. Head was about 50' across, looked like a submerged boulder, shell was 2-350' diameter, slept 99% of the time.

Tony DeTerlizzi (Planescape Fame) drew the pic which looks nice.

Any other god suggestions? And where's that Leviathon I assigned you? I expect results, mister!!

Sorry Mister Crothian, sir. I've been prepping for tonight's game. I will jump on that leviathan deal ASAP sir!

Of course I'm just kidding, and I noticed that as well. It's not cool, it's just casue no one ever comes here.

Yeah, I know it's just because it's a slow forum...

Edit: and what the heck made you even think to look? THat's such an odd thing to do.

Just a curious type-a-dude I suppose

There could be whole tribes of barbarians that use them as islands/ships... have them trained for combat so that they ram ships and such...

I'll get to the kraken stats after a bit; I'm revising all of my BPAA pages, with revised info. One PC in my undersea is a krakidan, btw.

THE CURRENT ROSTER

A. CHARACTERS: Ferlius (krakidan), Xmador (triton), Dubheasa (Malenti), Storm (sea elf), Cilvia (tiefling mermaid), Nee'Kaa (oceanid), unnamed water genasi
B. COMPANIONS: Mulan (Plasmanta; Cilvia's Familiar), Croceus (Agathion; Xmador's golden crown), unnamed cuttlefish construct (Ferlius), Smalt (foo sea lion, Dubheasa)

C. TOPICAL NPCs: Stinger (anemonoid cleric), Meir (greenhag), Xaetra (spectral hag), Orrok (sea bugbear), Zander (shade), unnamed half-dragon (deep)/half-hag (night)

That could work pretty well. Have a druid or shaman type leader of the tribe who can communicate with the creature

...giant-water-striding insects with tentacles that fire down from their abdomens and grab food beneath the surface of the water.... beetle like upper carapace with weak odd shaped wings that allow them to capture the wind and move at incredible speeds hovering across the water surface...

Good idea. I'll expect these done with that Leviathon.

Some giant water based vermin is a good idea. We can also have some fun with ocean vents. A whole eco system that doesn't depend on the sun.

But first I was thinking of starting on some of the top side races. They'll be posted in House rules, since that';s where thta stuff gets posted, but I'll provide a link from here as well as to here.

Good gsming tonight

Went well. It was an mIRC game... first online game I have run in a long time...

OK, now that you guys have found the bloodstained template (sorry, I should have included a link or some clues!), what about a slight variation to the paragon primal water elemental? Yep, make it a giant blood (and guts and bone and... urk) elemental, basically a collection of all the dead of Shark World from when the meteors struck.

Perhaps this could also be one of the gods you're looking for: death and destruction, divine rank 4?
