Does the Ultimania actually list this thing as the Kraken? The page is linked to in one of our forums, if someone who reads Japanese can take a look... - Challenge Sigil KHD.pngEternal Nothingness XIIIChallenge Sigil KHD.png 16:00, 18 March 2019 (UTC)

The boss page calls it "Tentacle"."We're werewolves, not swearwolves." (KrytenKoro) 16:36, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
I don't think it's safe to assume this is the kraken. Regardless of this being "KH-canon," it doesn't make sense for the kraken to be alive at this point in the Pirates timeline, to which KH seems to be staying faithful despite skipping Dead Man's Chest. At most, we can say the kraken is a design influence, but these are just random tentacles used for boss attacks. To say they belong to the kraken is presumptuous and inaccurate. I am firmly against calling this the kraken, using the term in our articles, or even using it for the name of an article. This page should be moved to "Tentacle," as per the Ultimania, and our moves of "Sulley" to "James P. Sullivan," "Randall" to "Randall Boggs," etc. - Challenge Sigil KHD.pngEternal Nothingness XIIIChallenge Sigil KHD.png 16:41, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
I agree. It's still possible this is supposed to be the Kraken, but it hasn't been called that, so we shouldn't name the page that. Though I think we should call it "Tentacles", plural, because there's more than one tentacle. TheSilentHero 17:30, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
TSH, can you post scans of the pages describing The Caribbean, Tentacles/Davy Jones, Luxord, Wheel of Fate, and the Flying Dutchman?"We're werewolves, not swearwolves." (KrytenKoro) 17:51, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
I'm with TSH. Rename this page "Tentacles." That said, we should also remove "Kraken" from the character section of the Caribbean page. For the image, we should use the "render" provided in the Ultimania. I've seen it in scans, but I can't seem to find it at the moment... - Challenge Sigil KHD.pngEternal Nothingness XIIIChallenge Sigil KHD.png 17:59, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
