Appears in	MediEvil 2 The Museum (statue)

"The great Kraken, that could smash a boat between its fearsome jaws - some still suppose that the deepest seas still hold creatures like this great beast. Fisherman, Phil McCaven, caught this example off the coast of Bognor Regis in 1774." ― A book in the Museum, about the Kraken.

The great Kraken was a fearsome sea creature caught by a fisherman named Phil McCaven off the coast of Bognor Regis in 1774. It could allegedly smash a boat between its jaws. A recreation of the Kraken was located in the Myths and Legends section of the Museum in 1886.

Behind the scenes

Version specific differences

In the Spanish version of MediEvil 2, the last sentence in the book about the Kraken is missing. This leaves out information about its capture.

In real life

The kraken is usually depicted as a giant cephalopod. MediEvil 2's kraken is more akin to a sea serpent.
