"name": "Amphibious"
- "desc": "The kraken ignores difficult terrain, and magical effects can't reduce its speed or cause it to be [restrained](../../../Compendium/rules/conditions#restrained). It can spend 5 feet of movement to escape from nonmagical restraints or being [grappled](../../../Compendium/rules/conditions#grappled)."
"name": "Freedom of Movement"

"name": "Siege Monster"
- "desc": "As long as the kraken maintains a telepathic bond with a master, the kraken gets a +2 bonus on Strength and Dexterity checks, and its [Hit Points](../../../Compendium/rules/variant-rules/hit-points-xphb) and maximum [Hit Points](../../../Compendium/rules/variant-rules/hit-points-xphb) increase by 210 (20d20) until that bond is broken."

If the target is a Large or smaller creature [grappled](../../../Compendium/rules/conditions#grappled) by the kraken, that creature is swallowed, and the grapple ends. While swallowed, the creature is [blinded](../../../Compendium/rules/conditions#blinded) and [restrained](../../../Compendium/rules/conditions#restrained), it has total cover against attacks and other effects outside the kraken, and it takes 42 (12d6) acid damage at the start of each of the kraken's turns. If the kraken takes 50 damage or more on a single turn from a creature inside it, the kraken must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw at the end of that turn, or regurgitate all swallowed creatures, which fall [prone](../../../Compendium/rules/conditions#prone) in a space within 10 feet of the kraken. If the kraken dies, a swallowed creature is no longer [restrained](../../../Compendium/rules/conditions#restrained) by it and can escape from the corpse using 15 feet of movement, exiting [prone](../../../Compendium/rules/conditions#prone)."

Until this grapple ends, the target is [restrained](../../../Compendium/rules/conditions#restrained). The kraken has ten tentacles, each of which can grapple one target."

- "desc": "One Large or smaller object held or creature [grappled](../../../Compendium/rules/conditions#grappled) by the kraken is thrown up to 60 feet in a random direction and knocked [prone](../../../Compendium/rules/conditions#prone). If a thrown target strikes a solid surface, the target takes 3 (1d6) bludgeoning damage for every 10 feet it was thrown. If the target is thrown at another creature, that creature must succeed on a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw or take the same damage and be knocked [prone](../../../Compendium/rules/conditions#prone)."
