Will someone please explain the logic of the names arthropod cephalopod and gastropod?

Let us observe the constituent parts. "Pod" is Latin for a Foot. That gives us Arthro- and Cephalo- and Gastro- FEET!

Arthro- deals with Organisms with Jointed Limbs - see Arthritis. Ceph deals with the Brain - that explains cuttlefish, squid and octopii. Gastro - the Gut - must mean Slugs and Snails and the Like.

Where is the Kraken in Assassin's Creed II?

It is in one of the Assassin's Tombs. I'm not sure which one, and I hope someone can clarify, but it is the one with a lever you have to pull to activate a giant obstacle course. Pull the lever, then look into the water for one minute. You will see a squid's body swim past you, looking at you with a giant eye. Return to pull the lever again and look into the water for one minute. You should see a small cutscene, where a large tentacle raises up to attack Ezio, and he dodges at the last second.
