The krakken!

I believe the Norse Myths also incorporated the whole Leviathan deal, which may / may not be in line with Krakens specifically... But they were always fighting some 'horrible creature from the deep' or some such thing. Speaking of Vikings, though, I have a rather large collection of the Lego variety taking over my desk right now...

Too bad my character in Fable can't be decked out as a viking. I know I could grow horns if I went evil, which I don't really like doing, but that's not quite the same.

Well, leviathan is believed to have been inspired by/be whales, and giant squid do fight/be preyed on/prey on sperm whales, so it wouldn't surprise me if there were a connection in the myths.

Ah, yes, the desk-invasion of Lego Vikings. Fortununately, I don't have that problem, just the floor-invasion of my brother's clean and dirty clothes and the desk-invasion of various piles of familial paper.

Kraken is cool

Very useful, astute contribution... but no Sabriel-ing threads...

FableGod and Walker, please both of you remember not to revive the threads long dead lest we end up with the threads of the undead running amok and consuming the living.
