Been seeing this word a bunch in the last 6 months and am still waiting patiently for its arrival. All of you ticket takers better not be lying. Their is a lot of hype behind this.


The English word kraken is taken from the modern Scandinavian languages,[2][3] originating from the Old Norse word kraki.[4] In both Norwegian and Swedish, Kraken is the definite form of krake, a word designating an unhealthy animal or something twisted (cognate with the English crook and crank).[5] In modern German, Krake (plural and oblique cases of the singular: Kraken) means octopus, but can also refer to the legendary kraken. Kraken is also an old Norwegian word for octopus[4] and an old euphemism in Swedish for whales, used when the original word became taboo as it was believed it could summon the creatures.[3][6]
