In 1917, an English translator of the King's Mirror opted to translate 'hafgufa' as 'kraken', linking the two mythical sea creatures.
In 1920, Finnur Jónsson favored identifying the kraken as an inkfish (squid/octopus) on etymological grounds, aligning with earlier descriptions and tales of giant sea monsters.
In 1920, Finnur Jónsson, having suggested that the Kraken was an inkfish, expressed skepticism about the idea that the kraken originated from the hafgufa.
In 1920, Icelandic philologist Finnur Jónsson explained that 'horven' (another name for the monster) is an alternative form of 'harv' (harrow), suggesting that the name was inspired by the inkfish's action of seemingly plowing the sea.
In 1928, H.P. Lovecraft created the character of Cthulhu, serving as a modern depiction of the kraken, and embodying themes of horror and apocalypse.
In 1953, John Wyndham's novel, "The Kraken Wakes" was published, marking a modern literary appearance of the kraken.
In 1981, the film "Clash of the Titans" featured the Kraken, popularizing the mythical creature in cinema.
In 2006, the kraken was featured as Davy Jones' pet in the film "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest".
In 2010, a remake of the film "Clash of the Titans" was released, again featuring the Kraken.
