davy jones, ruler of the seas, summons the kraken to destroy vessels. on-board his ghostly ship, the "flying dutchman," is a massive capstan with a carved kraken on the top, the so-called "kraken hammer". to call the kraken, the crew rotate the capstan clockwise, lifting it to its highest point. it then slams down, blasting shockwaves through the ocean, thus summoning the kraken. one shockwave usually does the job unless the kraken is farther away. the kraken hammer is seen again in "at world's end", still aboard the "dutchman"; though broken and unusable, it is still able to rotate, as shown during sparrow and jones' duel. the lines chanted by davy jones as the kraken is summoned ("let no joyful voice be heard! let no man look up at the sky with hope! and let this day be cursed by we who ready to wake...the kraken!") are similar to the lines from the book of job: "lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therin. let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning."
kraken (pirates of the caribbean)
the kraken was designed by the producers of "", and brought to life by technicians at industrial light & magic. its body resembles a massive, cuttlefish-like cephalopod. in the book, "pirates of the caribbean: a visual guide", a profile view of the kraken is seen, with a ship for scale. the second edition, "pirates of the caribbean: the complete visual guide", states the kraken to be as long as ten similar ships. the book also depicts the kraken as a cephalopod-like beast, with a ring of tentacles at the base of its head and a long, sharp tail similar to a squid (this could be used to keep it at level with the ship underwater). the fictional monster has also large round eyes with orange irises and black pupils. the eyes seem to show pain, most likely from when jones had to kill it, although it could also be the kraken's default expression. the kraken in this shot does not look as big as the given photo from the visual guide, though is could just be from the fact that the kraken has, most likely, been dead on the island for months and is beginning to rot away.
