It's an insane little critter, especially since it can do a Whirlwind attack ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY FEET across.  (30' space, 80' tentacle reach). I don't know if even the Meepites are up to facing this thing, but I'm never going to get any use out of it, so I thought I'd toss it in here in case it was useful.This might make a decent commander for the Demon Prince's forces -- it is remarkably intelligent and wise for an overgrown squid. It speaks Common and Aquan and actually has a good Diplomancy score. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Perhaps you can get some use out of it. Oh, and watch out for the save DCs on those Half-Fiend spell-like abilities...

An opponent can make sunder attempts against a kraken’s tentacles or arms as if they were weapons. A kraken’s tentacles have 60 hit points, and its arms have 30 hit points. If a kraken is currently grappling a target with one tentacle or arm, it usually uses another limb to make its attack of opportunity against the sunder attempt. Severing a kraken’s tentacle or arm deals damage to the kraken equal to half the limb’s full normal hit points. A kraken usually withdraws from combat if it loses both tentacles or three of its arms. A kraken regrows severed limbs in 1d10+10 days.Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, the kraken must hit with an arm or tentacle attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and can constrict.Constrict (Ex): A kraken deals automatic arm or tentacle damage with a successful grapple check.Jet (Ex): A kraken can jet backward once per round as a full-round action, at a speed of 280 feet. It must move in a straight line, but does not provoke attacks of opportunity while jetting.Ink Cloud (Ex): A kraken can emit a cloud of jet-black ink in an 80-foot spread once per minute as a free action. The cloud provides total concealment, which the kraken normally uses to escape a fight that is going badly. Creatures within the cloud are considered to be in darkness.Spell-Like Abilities: 1/day—control weather, control winds, dominate animal, resist energy. Caster level 9th. The save DC is Charisma-based.Half-Fiend Spell-Like Abilities: 3/day—Darkness, Poison, Unholy Aura. 1/day—Desecrate, Unholy Blight, Contagion, Blasphemy, Unhallow, Horrid Wilting, Summon Monster IX (fiends only), Destruction. The caster level for these is 60, and the save DC (Charisma based) is 46.Smite Good (Su): Once per day the creature can make a normal melee attack to deal extra damage equal to its HD (maximum of +20) against a good foe.Skills: A kraken has a +8 racial bonus on any Swim check to perform some special action or avoid a hazard. It can always choose to take 10 on a Swim check, even if distracted or endangered. It can use the run action while swimming, provided it swims in a straight line.</blockquote>
