I think yes. Why else would there be so many paintings and drawings of a colossal creature that looks like a squid taking down ships all the way to the depths. I honestly do not think they were lying when they painted them. So YES i think it does OR at one time did exist because it might be dead by now.

I also think yes and i even heared a story about it a couple years ago. it was about a squid with hooks on its tentacles and it was the as long as ten busses. they captured it and took it. they did research on it and it was only a baby one so to this day they don't know how big they get and some think they don't exist at all. But that story i heard got me to trust it was real. But we are not sure if it still does.

The Kraken is a legendary sea monster. It is possible that ancient sightings and/or fishing of giant squid specimens (Architeuthis dux) were the base for this legend.

The colossal squid (Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni) could not have been the basis of such legend, because their habitat are deep waters of the Southern Ocean, and the Antarctic waters were not known in these ancient times.

But the Triassic Kraken is still considered a cryptid, more exactly a gigantic cephalopod hypothesized to be responsible for the deaths of several Shonisaurusin the same site (the largest ichthyosaur species known to science).

These vertebra fossils from the triassic period were found in a strange pattern, and were the base for the hypothesis of the existence of a Triassic Kraken, by Mark McMenamin, PhD., paleontologist and geologist in the Mount Holyoke College.

While the monster you may or may not be thinking of isn't real, the Kraken IS based on a real animal--the giant squid.

Yup, krakens are real but they are not monsters they are a type of giant squid. And because they are very big so the could eat humans also. Most of the krakens live below the oceans surface only 1 or 2 species are above the oceans surface so they also sometimes come above the water.
