They are the same. Reported sightings of the Kraken are believed to have been based upon sightings of the Giant Red Squid. Colossal Squid can be as large as 50 feet (or so).

No because the Colossal and giant squid's habits do not over lap, and even if it did, it would be unlikely to happen.

Is an cricken an animal?

I believe you are referring to a Kraken. This was a mythical animal that has often been portrayed as a giant squid or squid-like animal in movies. The giant squid is a real animal that may be as long as 50 feet if you include tentacle length. The mythological kraken is usually described or portrayed many times larger. Although the kraken is mythical, the legend may have arisen through sightings of giant squid by early seafarers.

What is a Kraken?

A Kraken is a huge sea monster in Norwegian Greek legend that looks like a giant octopus or giant squid. The legend may very well be born from rare occurrences of giant squid coming to the surface and attacking ships; Sperm whales are known to hunt down and eat giant squid. This giant squid theory seems unlikely though as a giant squid would probably die from the changing pressures before reaching the surface. I think it's a giant squid. A3 I believe I read that the Kraken was one of the "Titans". I think the Titans preceeded humanity here on earth, according to legend (the Greeks or Romans?), and all had been nearly killed off when humans became the primary and dominant species on earth. I think it was a sea monster, under the control of the God of the Sea, Poisedon. A4 Its one of the "Titans" A giant squid-like creature that would bring man down underwater and down to their dooms. A5 the kraken is a Scandinavian legend people think its a giant squid, i think its cousin the colossal squid and yes the would die before reaching the surface but in 2007 a new zealand fishing boat did their last cast they caught a fish but while reallying up the fish something bit on something big they found the first live colossal squid and that squid was not happy but the got it to new zealand. there is also the devil fish a giant octopus
