Definitions

American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition

  1. n. A huge sea monster in Norwegian legend.

Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia

  1. n. A mythical sea-monster said to appear at times off the coast of Norway. The popular notion of the kraken dates back at least to the time of pontoppidan (1698-1764), who wrote a description of it. One of the giant squids, as a cephalopod of the genus Architeuthis, might furnish a reasonable basis for the myth.

GNU Webster's 1913

  1. n. A fabulous Scandinavian sea monster, often represented as resembling an island, but sometimes as resembling an immense octopus.
