The legend of the Kraken can be traced back to ancient Norse mythology, where it was known as the "Jörmungandr." The Jörmungandr was a giant serpent that was said to be so large that it could encircle the entire world. It was also said to be the offspring of Loki, the trickster god, and the giantess Angrboda.

In the 18th century, sailors' tales of the Kraken began to be taken more seriously. A Danish naturalist named Erik Pontoppidan wrote a book in which he described the Kraken as a real animal, with a body as large as an island and tentacles as long as the height of a three-story building.
