Default Why The Kraken?
Factions is a chinese themed game. But why did ANet add krakens in it in Boreas Seabed? Krakens are norse mythology, no way connected to China. Seems pretty weird to me....Maybe chapter 3 is gonna have centaurs in it

Factions is stated to be 'oriental themed'. However making that statement does not declare that all things have to follow the 'theme', since that was just a way to describe a rough outline of part of the game.

Only the Kaineng area is oriental themed, the subsequent areas are german/whatever somewhat.

Jade sea is oriental themed though. Its originally oriental based, but they can had some things from other theme. Its name,Zhu Hanuku, means "Old Long Arms" in ancien tougue. This can tell you why they have chosen a Kraken.

Picked its name in a French GW:F site.

Sea monsters are a pretty universal myth. If there's water nearby you'll get stories about the things in it.

Yes, but different cultures have different stories.
