[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5615634, member: 57383"] I'm not sure about it being smaller. The description says they've grown "huge and powerful" and they do have 25% more HD. Besides, we don't know what the regular Kraken's 90 foot length represents. It could be mostly tentacle. The Zakharan Kraken is 62.5% tentacle (from 100 foot tentacle + 60 foot body = 160 feet total). If it has a Reach commensurate with those 100 foot tentacles, I'm thinking we should consider making it Colossal. That'd work better with a 90 foot or 100 foot tentacle Reach. Will we give its arms a 100 ft. Reach too, since it doesn't say they're shorter, or make them 50 ft. Reach? I'm not sure about increasing its physical stats (or damage). I imagine it's a weak, inbred creature, being an albino. Notice that despite its greater HD the original version has tentacles that do less damage than a regular Kraken's (2d8 vs 3d6). [/QUOTE]
