The Kraken is an ultra-heavy siege tower, a massive Covenant sky fortress with three powerful grappler arms capable of physically crushing and moving mountain-sized objects.<ref name="HWKraken"/> The shape of the Kraken is very similar to terrestrial squid. This, along with its massive proportions, has given rise to its [[UNSC]] nickname, after the [[Wikipedia:Kraken|creature]] from Norse mythology. The Kraken is composed of a large hollow structure that allows large aerial vehicles such as the [[Type-57 Phantom]] dropship to fly and even land inside it. Throughout the Kraken, there are several [[Shade]] turrets deployed for defense. The area above the hollow section is solid, capping it off. Below the hollow section there are several more Shade turrets and docking bays that can house [[Type-54 Banshee]]s. | Among one of the largest Covenant terrestrial vehicles to date, only rivaled by spaceships, the [[Type-58 Harvester]] and the [[Super Scarab]].

The core is housed in the bottom-most section, where the three limb-like mechanisms protrude. The core is susceptible to heavy ordnance and becomes explosively unstable after sustaining significant damage. | The core is housed in the bottom-most section, where the three limb-like mechanisms protrude.
