I agree with Bruce on this one. I think "Kraken" is just a term that others have labeled it.

Kraken is the legendary sea monster that we now know of today as the Giant Squid. So if we may call it Kraken then couldn't we call it a "Dianoga"? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Dianoga is a muddy-colored squid-like creature which thrives in dank environments, patiently waiting for morsels big enough to satisfy its appetite. The seven-tentacled creature ensnares its prey and attempts to drag it into its hungry mouth.

The Watcher in the Water is just another mysterious creature in Tolkiens writing.

But I do remember seeing an old thread on the issue, and if I remember correctly Turambar was in it?
