The Best Part of Waking Up… Is Kraken in Your Cup

Since it’s a fictitious creation, nobody really knows what a Kraken looks like. But the one thing we can all agree on is that the thing is a gigantic sea monster, and almost certainly has tentacles that it uses to snatch ships and drag them to the bottom of the ocean.

I think this Kraken tentacle mug does a great job capturing the spirit of this legendary sea beast, and has no need to show its body to get its point across.

The Kraken mug has a food-grade stainless steel cup insert, wrapped in a hand-sculpted food-grade resin. I love all of the details like the ship’s rivets, along with all of the suckers on the Kraken’s tentacles. Best of all, one of the tentacles serves as the mug’s handle. This mug is just one of the many creepy, morbid, and downright odd items featured in artist Michael Locascio’s Dellamorte & Co. Etsy shop.

It measures about 5.5″ tall, and holds 16 oz of your favorite beverage. I like the idea of some kind of rum since that’s all that pirates drink at sea, right? Yarrrrr! So if you want to be able to say “my mug has a Kraken it!” you can grab one of these cool drinking vessels over on Etsy for $45.

Thinkgeek’s April Fools Day Tentacuddle Blanket Was Real

I’m really happy that April Fools Day was on a Sunday this year, so I didn’t have to look like a fool, falling for stuff all day long. Every year, people try to fool you with fake products. ThinkGeek’s lineup on April Fools Day is legendary. People still buzz about these items every year so much that some actually become real products. Such is the case with the Tentacuddle Blanket.


Yes, you can really buy this. It’s real and you can be as cozy as a Kraken, snuggled up in its green grip! It has five tentacles “each with an opening near the end to put your thumb, hand, or foot through”. Basically, you can get lost in this blanket.

Stay warm and look like a sea creature. Other’s will think there’s a Kraken on the couch, but nope, it’s just you being toasty and warm. I know that my cats would love to snuggle with me in this blanket. They would love crawling out of those holes, like cute little Kraken parasites.

You can grab one of the blankets right now for $59.99. Better get Kraken because they won’t be around forever.

This Kraken Piescraper Is the Deadliest Catch

Whoa! Now this is a pie. Release the Kraken!.. into my mouth! When a pie is so awesome and towers over others, you call it a “piescraper.” Jessica Leigh Clark-Bojin of Pies Are Awesome created this awesome Kraken-themed piescraper.

It is an awesome and delicious dessert creation. According to Jessica, she built it up using a series of engineering and baking tricks to enhance structural integrity, making it stable. You can watch her build it in the video below:

It is a marvel of pie engineering in fact and a work of art. Architectural pies are the best. I have to try one soon.

Kraken D20: Rolling in the Deep

Release the Kraken and roll! The Kraken D20 is the most insane die you will ever see. It’s perfect for rolling those sanity checks.

This crazy 3D-printed die was made by Nvenom8 Designs. I get the feeling that if you roll a critical fail this thing will scream as is from the depths of some dark void and make you fall to your knees gripping your ears. Most die are flat on the sides. Not this one. This one lands on it’s tentacles. I would be too scared to even use it.

Nothing good can come of this D20. Nope. I wouldn’t even touch it. It’s gotta be cursed.

The Best Part of Waking up Is Cthulhu in Your Cup

Waiter, there’s a Cthulhu in my cup. Seriously. These fun and strange teacups are the work of Etsy artist VoodooDelicious. Sadly, you can’t drink from them as the beverage in the cup is fake. At least you can at least admire them in your kitchen, while also fearing them.

They certainly make for a fun conversation starter. “Is that a Cthulu in your tea?” You can get several different creatures in various styles and poses, like a Kraken, squid, an octopus and more. They are creepy, but cool and just a little cute.

I’m not sure anyone will ever want to drink a dark liquid at your home again. In fact this is a great way to get rid of unwanted company and make sure they don’t stay too long.

Kraken Bookends Aren’t Recommended for Seafarers

I know the chances of a giant monster actually living at the bottom of the ocean are pretty slim, but the ocean is a very deep, and why tempt fate? The Kraken is probably one of the worst mythical sea monsters out there – reaching up to crush ships with its disgusting slimy tentacles.

If you have a penchant for mythical beasts and bizarre bookends, these Kraken bookends are just for you. Just be sure you’re not living on a boat.

You can purchase a these off Etsy where an artist by the name of Dellamorteco sculpted the shipwreck by hand, then cast it from resin and painted on a bronze finish. The result is incredibly realistic and lifelike and must’ve taken a very long time to make. You have to check out some of the close-up images to get an idea of how detailed these bookends really are.

Priced at $250(USD), the limited-edition bookends aren’t exactly cheap, but considering it’s an handmade piece of art, the price isn’t too bad. There are more than a few people out there who would love to have a pair these sitting on their pirate-themed libraries.
