The Kraken is a type of enemy in EarthBound. It resembles a large, green snake with red hair and red and orange fire breath. The first one appears during the trip to Scaraba as a boss. Later 3 more appear in the Sea of Eden. A stronger variant, the Bionic Kraken, appears in the Cave of the Past.
Krakens appear to be based on actual Krakens, which are usually depicted as a squid or octopus like creature rather than a serpentine one.

"When your party returns from Fourside, you'll be able to board a ship and set sail for Scaraba. The passage won't be peaceful, though. You'll have to battle Kraken, the sea beast."
