salt kraken

A mass of flesh two stories high, the salt kraken dominates the landscape, churning the earth beneath its inexorable advance.

Perfect

The salt kraken is a powerful yet peaceful giant worm-like creature that can be found wandering the salt dunes or deep underground.

Burrowing

When a salt kraken is burrowing, it moves once every two turns, creating a red highlight in the space before it. Anything standing in that space when the salt kraken advances will be destroyed; this causes instant death to the player and other creatures. Additionally, the salt kraken will produce one of the following objects at its previous position:

Group Weight Items
trash 1 trash
a corpse 1 90% fitting of the zone tier, 10% of pulling from anything in the table
liquids 2 salt, bloody salt
rubble 2 rubble (or its grey variant)
flowers 1 flowers
boulders 1 small boulder, medium boulder, large boulder or their grey variants
