Cave kraken are slayer monsters that are found in the Kraken Cove. They can only be attacked if players have them as a Slayer task. To be assigned cave krakens, players require level 87 Slayer and 50 Magic. Along with their boss variant, the Kraken, they are the only monsters to drop the Kraken tentacle and the Trident of the seas.

In order to attack a cave kraken, a player must disturb a whirlpool, causing the cave kraken to surface. Magic is the only reliable way of dealing damage to them, as Ranged attacks are heavily reduced and Melee cannot be used. Unlike the Kraken, fishing explosives are unnecessary and their attacks are magic rather than typeless (meaning they can be prayed against).

Compared to the Kraken they have poor drops, so are generally only killed by ironmen seeking a Trident of the seas, which they drop at a more frequent rate than the boss, albeit uncharged.

Trivia

• Cave kraken use the same model as the Sea Troll Queen but it is recoloured and resized.
• Cave kraken and their boss variant are similar to RuneScape's Strykewyrms, which can only be attacked while on a Slayer task and must be disturbed to fight.
• The cave kraken had a festive override wearing a santa hat during the 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 Christmas events. Both the NPC and skill guide icon had the override.
