SciFi and Fantasy Art: Kraken (Body systems)

I did this in the spirit of some of my Biological Sciences drawings... 'The Kraken is a nocturnal water-dwelling creature, in the third stage of a complete metamorphism process. The larvae are in the form of round, ringed leeches with poison-teeth and a sucker-mouth at only one end; they have a 'blind gut'. They are active during the day, as opposed to the nocturnal end-stage. Not much is known about the pupal stage of the kraken, as it is rumored to only occur in the mud in the bottom of deep lakes, though the larvae prefer shallower water. The kraken also has a blind gut, although it does have a better developed excretion system in the form of a phosphorescent light on the end of its barbed tail with which it lures its prey at night, grasping it with its many poison-barbed tentacles. These creatures live in slightly anoxic lakes, particularly the Black Lakes to the northwest. Dawn and dusk are the only safe times to cross...'
