Does the Kracken really Davy Jones's pet?

Answer 1

In maritime mythology, the Kraken is often depicted as a giant sea monster, while Davy Jones is a character from nautical folklore, typically seen as the supernatural figure associated with the depths of the ocean. In popular culture, particularly in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise, Davy Jones is portrayed as having control over the Kraken, but this connection is a fictional creation rather than a traditional belief. Therefore, while they are linked in modern storytelling, the Kraken is not traditionally considered Davy Jones's pet.
