The Watcher in the Water (LTR-526 foil) is a legendary Kraken creature from The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth. It enters tapped with nine stun counters and creates 1/1 blue Tentacle tokens whenever you draw a card on an opponent’s turn. When a Tentacle you control dies, you can untap a Kraken and place a stun counter on a nonland permanent, enabling token-synergy and interaction with its own stun mechanic.
