Arixmethes is a kraken from Theros.
History
Obscure legends say that Arixmethes was a major polis that once existed on Theros, and that Heliod smote this coastal city with Khrusor and cast it into the sea. Arixmethes is a massive kraken with the entire city built upon it.[1]
Arixmethes is so large that he is frequently mistaken for an island. While he slumbered, an entire city was built on his back. When he awakened, as the planeswalker Kiora battled the sea god Thassa, he wrought destruction beyond any the hapless citizens of the "island" had ever known.[2] Since returning to its slumber, Arixmethes drifts where it will, still bearing the ruins of a legendary city upon its back.[3]
Arixmethes fought in defense of Theros during the New Phyrexian Invasion.[4][5]
