The kraken is one of the iconic monsters, and I've been thinking for a while about throwing one as a high-level encounter in my campaign. Looking over the kraken's stats, I noticed the seemingly dramatic Rend Ship ability, which seems intended to make the kraken a credible threat to seagoing vessels.
Unfortunately, Rend Ship only effects ships that are the kraken's size or smaller, and the only ship (per Pathfinder's published vehicle rules) that fits in that category is the rowboat. Finding out that the kraken, a primal horror of legendary proportions, is mostly restricted to menacing the craft of weekend fishing buddies seems underwhelming to me.
Has there been any sort of errata for this, and if not, how do you handle it in your games? I considered the Giant simple template, but at that level, it seems not terribly cost effective.
