TirAsleen, calmon, thanks for the confirmation and additional details. This thing is going straight into the shortlist because it sounds like a major issue. Surprising that it's taken this long to come out, since this is the first instance of it that I can remember seeing.

Another error is the Kraken being adversely affected by the burden of time. His description says he gets stronger with age, but that is not the case. Burden of time should increase kraken's stats, not give him afflictions.

That's a function of the aging mechanics and an interpretation issue with the Kraken's description. If you compare the Ancient Kraken with the basic Kraken and Kraken King, it becomes obvious that it's far older and more powerful, as it should be. The basic kraken is supposed to be the great monster of the sea that drags ships down to watery death and the kraken king is a more powerful version. The Ancient Kraken is orders of magnitude older and more powerful, so in that context the description is accurate. It does not exempt the Ancient Kraken from the effects of old age, however. All living things will eventually start to fail and die when they get old enough, it just takes the ancient kraken millennia instead of decades like the normal krakens.
