Кракен, mythical sea creature, plays a significant role in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise, notably in the second and third films. Its demise occurs during a climactic battle when the crew of the Black Pearl, led by Captain Jack Sparrow, confronts the monstrous beast. The creature is ultimately killed by the Flying Dutchman, commanded by Davy Jones, who stabs it with a harpoon, signifying both the end of the kraken and the tortured connection between Jones and his own tragic fate. This dramatic event highlights themes of sacrifice and the supernatural that permeate the series.
