The GM: *Makes a clearly overpowered monster, intending for the party to flee.*
The Party:
[Picture with the text "Hit him with your crossbow Steve!" overlaid, of a large octopus/squid-like creature with tentacles raised out of the ocean. It towers over a pair of humanoid figures, one holding a staff in one hand and pointing at the squid with the other, the other person aiming a crossbow at it.]
Why not legendary creature? It surely is legendary as a meme
it's weird they didn't use either the WoW trading card
or the Hearthstone card
which are both part of real games.
Because the kraken art in op post is from a mtg card. I forgot the name but I have it somewhere in my binders
Edit I'm not that sure anymore, I might be hallucinating I cannot find it anymore
It's by Craig J Spearing on Bloomburrow Commander's Octopus token: https://scryfall.com/card/tblc/14/octopus
OH it was a token, that's why. Many thanks.
