🐙 RELEASE THE KRAKEN!!

This one has a bit of a story to it but let me just say it came as the result of an offhand remark to the Eyesy ChatGPT LLM when I was making my CARGO mode. With a bit of guidance the result was this charming fellow. Watch the Kraken swim about. Music enrages him and he will flail his noodly tentacles and swim around angrily blowing bubbles and if you tune it just right it’s not too hard to get him lip-syncing to your audio. I am highly amused by the personality of this character and recycled him as Cthulhu for my CthulhuScope mode. (If you haven’t checked that mode out and are an H.P. Lovecraft fan then I highly suggest you check it out!) The only difference is Cthulhu goes to sleep when there is no audio. The Kraken ain’t got time for sleep! 🐙
