This article is about the normal Slayer monster. For the boss variant, see Kraken.
Cave kraken are slayer monsters that are found in the Kraken Cove. They can only be attacked if players have them as a slayer assignment. To be assigned cave krakens, players require level 87 Slayer and 50 Magic.
These monsters, along with their boss variant, 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 spells are the only reliable way of dealing damage to them, as Ranged attacks are heavily reduced, and Melee cannot be used as they move around on a lake and cannot be attacked at close range.

Trivia
- Even though Tridents of the seas are uncommon[1], Cave kraken can only be attacked while on a Slayer task, therefore the availability of their drops are still considered to be rare.
- Cave Krakens are recoloured, resized Sea Troll Queens.
- Cave Krakens and their boss variant are similar to RuneScape 3's Strykewyrms, which can only be attacked while on a Slayer task and must be disturbed to fight.
