Wow! I completely missed that! I guess my eyes sort of wandered past a lot of the monster descriptions after the first couple looked exactly like the originals...

Given the emphasis on dragging people on land into the water, I wonder if the Kraken as described is supposed to represent the "watcher in the water" from Moria in Fellowship of the Rings.

That sounds reasonable as a supposition, though my objection would be that in classical literature the Kraken was so enormous it could haul down whole ships and their crews. I'd think if a "Watcher in the Water" was wanted, you'd do something a lot smaller for the purpose, and leave the actual Kraken to the deep waters. But hey, what do I know? ;-)
