That;s not quite as high as the SR 32 of the CR 20 Tarrasque and Pit Fiend but better than the Balor's SR 28.For SLAs, the original monster didn't have any and it's described as acting "like nothing more than an animal" so maybe it doesn't have the standard Kraken's SLAs, or at least SLAs that are obvious to observers?  Of course, observers don't normally survive encounters with The Kraken so maybe nobody's lived to say they saw it use dominate animal or whatever?Or we can give it a few SLAs appropriate for a fiendish creature associated with the Plane of Water. Maybe a mix up of the SLAs of a Half-Fiend and a Half-Water Elemental?<table style='width: 100%'><tr><td>Level/HD</td><td>Half-Fiend SLAs</td><td>Half-Water SLAs</td></tr><tr><td>1–2</td><td>Darkness 3/day</td><td>Obscuring mist</td></tr><tr><td>3–4</td><td>Desecrate</td><td>Fog cloud</td></tr><tr><td>5–6</td><td>Unholy blight</td><td>Water breathing</td></tr><tr><td>7–8</td><td>Poison 3/day</td><td>Control water</td></tr><tr><td>9–10</td><td>Contagion</td><td>Ice storm</td></tr><tr><td>11–12</td><td>Blasphemy</td><td>Cone of cold</td></tr><tr><td>13–14</td><td>Unholy aura 3/day, unhallow</td><td>Acid fog</td></tr><tr><td>15–16</td><td>Horrid wilting</td><td>Horrid wilting</td></tr><tr><td>17–18</td><td>Summon monster IX (fiends only)</td><td>Elemental swarm (water only)</td></tr><tr><td>19–20</td><td>Destruction</td><td>Plane shift</td></tr></table>I'd skip the blasphemy, desecrate and unhallow and the summoning & plane shifting abilities seem inappropriate, and I think I'd replace one of them with control weather as that's a classic Kraken shtick.Hmm, I'd be inclined to slap widened on most of The Kraken's area-effect SLAs otherwise they'll cover a piddling breadth compared to its Space.Don't care for ice storm, it feels a bit too obvious. The various fog/poison/acid abilities could be interpreted as extensions of its inky death cloud but while it lives in a cold climate there's no mention of frost powers!  Maybe replace it with the SRD Kraken's dominate animal and/or resist energy?So something like:darkness (3/day)widened fog cloud (3/day)poison (3/day)control water (3/day)ice storm (1/day); or dominate animal (aquatic only)(1/day) plus resist energy (3/day)contagion (1/day)control weather (2/day)[3 mile radius druid version?]widened acid fog (1/day)horrid wilting (1/day)destruction (1/day)CL 20th; DCs are Charisma-based.</blockquote>
