Into this vacuum, it is understandable that the name of the creator—Frankenstein—would soon be used to name the creation. That mistake was made within the first decade after the novel was published, but it became cast in concrete after the story was popularized in the famous 1930s Universal film series starring Boris Karloff. The film was based largely on a play by Peggy Webling, performed in London in 1927.[3] Curiously, Webling's Frankenstein actually does give his creature his name. The Universal film reverted to the empty cypher, however: the film's credits list the character Karloff plays as a question mark. Nevertheless, the creature soon enough became best known in the popular imagination as "Frankenstein".

Kraken is the definite article form of krake, a Scandinavian word designating an unhealthy animal, or something twisted.[5] In modern German, Krake (plural and declined singular: Kraken) means octopus, but can also refer to the legendary Kraken
