Akkorokamui

Akkorokamui are a species of giant cephalopod similar to the Kraken. They can be found throughout the Pacific Ocean, but are most common around Japan.

Appearance
Akkorokamui resemble an octopus, but with a size rivaling that of many whales. They are almost always bright red when mature, though babies are usually more muted colors.

Behavior
Akkorokamui are mostly solitary, preying mostly on large fish like tuna, but also eating sharks, turtles, dolphins, and occasionally younger Akkorokamui. They have very thick ink that has anesthetic properties they can use to capture prey and, when young, deter predators. Akkorokamui are only around 1 foot long when they hatch, so they are quite vulnerable to predators and very few reach adulthood. The population remains stable as Akkorokamui lay eggs in groups of thousands, and if an unusually high number survive, adults will likely eat some of them. Akkorokamui are very intelligent even by cephalopod standards, and have been known to be friendly to humans, and some groups have trained them to use their ink to help injured humans.

Powers

 * Enhanced agility: Akkorokamui are able to go from one movement to another, effectively allowing them to dodge attacks, do backflips, and numerous other athletic, gymnastic, and martial implements with little effort.


 * Enhanced Elasticity: Because they have no skeleton, Akkorokamui have much more flexible bodies then most animals.
 * Enhanced Bite: Due to their beaks, Akkorokamui have a very high bite force.
 * Enhanced Healing: Akkorokamui heal very quickly, and can even regenerate limbs.


 * Bonelessness: Akkorokamui have no bones, and thus are not limited by the restrictions caused by a skeleton.
 * Camouflage: Akkorokamui can change their color to match objects behind them.
 * Speed Swimming: Akkorokamui can swim at very high speeds.
 * Constriction: Akkorokamui can constrict using their huge tentacles.
 * Ink Generation: Akkorokamui can generate ink for various purposes.
 * Anesthetic Generation: Akkorokamui Ink blocks pain signals if absorbed.
 * Aquatic Respiration: Akkorokamui can breath underwater.
 * Pressure Resistance: Akkorokamui can withstand water pressure much greater then what humans can.
