there's no kraken champion

Just occurred to me. Vel koz doesn't count since he's more of the "eye of sauron" archetype and the tentacles aren't his main thing.

It would be really cool to have since illaoi's god is a kraken (I think) and we already have champions that are gods of other champions (like voli and anivia being worshiped by people like ashe)

The kraken is seen in folklore from almost every culture and it's name is almost ubiquitous. Riot even alludes to it's existence in runeterra by having illoai as a worshiper of it. I really think that the next champion they add should be the kraken.

The kraken would be a jungler since in folklore it's thing is that it comes out of nowhere to attack ships. This coming out of nowhere thing is pretty much exactly what ganks are supposed to be like. I wouldn't be surprised if the kraken had an ability like pyke w to become invisible.

It would also make tons of sense when the kraken ganks illaoi's lane since it would be like illaoi getting help from her god, so to speak.

So you want the being who's tentacles are wrapped around the planet to be a champion?

I can agree that we could use a seamonster type champion. Personally, I would like a "leash of the beast" type of champion as I call it, a guy who managed to tame one of the dangerous creatures lurking around Bilgewater. I would prefer them to be something else, tho, like a gigantic crab or something.

The kraken thematic is already quite strong with Illaoi, so I prefer if we chose another aquatic creature to represent this.
