The account tweeted out screengrabs of the Fortnite game files after the 7.40 update Thursday morning, showing that several files included the word “Cracken.” And although it has a different spelling, a Kraken is a mythical giant sea monster that would terrorize sailors.

The files, named city, effect, and collapse, would seem to indicate the monster appearing near the end of season seven, which will come to a close on Feb. 28. Using the names of some other files found, the Cracken may wreak havoc on the Fortnite island, causing the destruction of existing points of interest.

Fortnite seasons have traditionally ended with some drastic event to spark some kind of change on the map and gameplay. For example, the end of season six brought with it a giant iceberg, as well as airplanes and ziplines.

Most of the seventh season, which began in December, has revolved around the snowy and icy weather. Recently, though, many have been paying attention to the skin The Prisoner, which broke out of the Polar Peak castle.
