Possibly the only beast equal to a dragon tyrant, The Craken is incredibly powerful, and all beasts except for the dragon flee from it. The Cracken and The Dragon Tyrant dueled centuries before the time of man.

The Cracken

Hp:62
Armor:12%
Blocking:40% from the front, 20% from the side
Power:15 or Roar (see below)
Movement:4 (teleportation)
Range for Standard Attack:2 tiles in each adjacent direction (the poison wisp's attack)
Recovery Time:1 for movement, 2 for attack, 3 total

Special: Roar= When The Cracken becomes badly hurt, it has the ability to terrify opponents by roaring. The Cracken can do this after it is down to 20 or lower health. To activate this ability, simply click and hold The Cracken (just like the assassin bomb) for 2 full seconds. This attack has a range of 1 tile, and it includes the 4 adjacent tiles to The Cracken. It lowers the units stats by the following.

Power: -5
Armor: -10% (cannot go into the negatives)
Movement Capabilities: -1
The Rest of the stats stay the same.

The lost stats do not return until the end of the game.

Special Note: The Cracken counts as 2 units when placed on the field.

Second Special Note: The Cracken and The Dragon Tyrant constantly dueled centuries ago, and they still will not fight together. Only one or the other may be in your set in a given game.

I've spent many hours in astronomy thinking of new units, and I made "the kraken" about a year ago. :p I also created black hole wards, ghost, and ooze units, some of them are fairly good but I dont post them because I doubt they would be made. I was thinking about posting them though just for copyright purposes.

Anyways, Kraken is a badass.

How long do the modifiers last for? And are its attacks blockable?

Overpowered, the hp and the fact that the roar's special lasts until the end of the game makes it able to destroy anything.
It could take on a knight, or a dragon.
And knights can destroy anything in the entire game, including the dragon (if luck is on your side).
Not bad though.

Do you perhaps mean Kraken?

ok to shredder i really dont know what your point is, to boreal, they last until the end of the game. This may be thought of as overpowered but the cracken can only do it when it has less than 20 health, and with a 3 turn recovery, it could easily be killed before it could even use this attack. And the primary attack is blockable (sorry i forgot to mention that). To shurtgal, well, same thing as i told Boreal, it could easily be killed before it could even use it's special attack, and it counts as 2 units, so I don't see how it's overpowered. Please elaborate to help me see what you mean. And to Kyir, yes i do mean Kraken, or whatever that thing from pirates of the carribean is lol i have no idea whatsoever how to spell it. :) I hope that helps.

If you give the special attack a duration, instead of it lasting until the end of the game, it could be a decent unit. Because you could always get it to under 20 hp yourself, then drop it into a group of enemy units and cripple them permanently.

ya but if you did that you would be out 2 units (The Cracken). would it be worth it to cripple at a max of 4 guys?

the crippling iseems tooo powerful, you can just permanently lower you're opponents stats over and over and over.

With a meager attack of 15 and blockable, I wouldn't say the special makes it overpowered. The odds of you getting getting more than 2 units with its special are unlikely, and it should be dead before it can be used again.

exactly antibiotic, it would be hard to use it over and over agin with a 3 turn recovery and he has to be 20 or lower health. Look at it this way, if u didnt want it do die, then you have to heal it, but then you probably can't use the special, so it would be very hard to use more than once and the odds of being able to hit four units at once are very slim.

You could try not looking like a tool first.

Just saying, image matters.
