Kraken (Pirates of the Caribbean)

== The Kraken's History== The Kraken is, without a doubt, the greatest weapon of Davy Jones, captain of the Flying Dutchman. The creature's origin is unknown, as is how it came into Jones' service, although it is implied to be the last of its kind. Jones uses a large hammer on board the Dutchman to summon the Kraken, always with the intent of destroying an enemy. Jones has also been known to mark certain victims with "the Black Spot", a swelling on the hand which the Kraken is drawn to (although other crewmen of the Flying Dutchman can also administer the Black Spot, only Jones can remove it). When Lord Cutler Beckett of the East India Trading Company gained control over Jones through the Dead Man's Chest (which contains Jones' heart), one of his first orders was for Jones to kill the Kraken as a test of servitude.
