salt kraken

An avalanche of salt off a pretender dune reveals something out of the late world's aching dream: a living iodine grotto, nurtured to its implausible size by the vast and buoyant waveplain of Moghra'yi. A rain curtain of glass streams across the inflow of its filter feed, and behind, the ingested planet is laid in pulverized tracts.

Perfect

A salt kraken is a powerful, normally peaceful, giant worm-like creature that can rarely 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 the highlighted space when the salt kraken advances will be destroyed; this causes instant death to the player and other creatures and is one of two ways to receive the *gulp* achievement. Additionally, a burrowing 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

Tips

This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary.
  • It possesses vast Strength but low Mental Armor, making it an excellent candidate to Proselytize or for Beguiling.
  • Following a salt kraken while possessing Butchery is a good way to rack up lots of meat and other products for cooking, as well as certain pieces of equipment.
  • salt krakens who live in procedurally generated villages will not burrow.
