Star kraken: Difference between revisions

'''Star krakens''' are [[Mysterious strangers]] who behave similarly to {{favilink|salt kraken|plural}}, charting a slow, linear course across Qud and swallowing up items and creatures in front of them.  They are docile in nature, refraining from conflict unless attacked. However, standing in the behemoth's path (highlighted in red) can cause [[Instant death]] by swallowing.  They possess five [[Data:Cyclopean_arm_(star_kraken)|cyclopean arms]] (5d5/➡32), all [[Dual Wield]] skills and [[Regeneration]] at level 20, making them extremely formidable.

The items which appear in the wake of a star kraken's passing are significantly more various than their desert brethren; the detritus can include rare corpses, walls, furniture, liquids and gas clouds of various materials.  Occasionally they will produce objects that do not normally exist in Qud, or are normally hidden (such as the [[Bell of Rest]]).  Regardless of location, they will produce [[Palladium Reef]] scenery such as {{favilink|finger coral}} and {{favilink|palladium strut|plural}}.

Occasionally, a star kraken's wake will spawn an artifact or creature of apparently random tier.  Certain creatures such as {{favilink|dromad trader|plural}} may emerge with an entourage and full inventory.  Spawned creatures that attack the star kraken will be promptly re-ingested.
