Whales - A pod thereof

The green has me thinking of water for some reason also, and that makes me think 'school of fish'? Or perhaps it is a 'bed of snakes' in the grass.
#3: Kathy McKenzie (xwordgal) on Feb 25, 2018
my thought was geese, a gaggle of.
#4: besmirched tea (Besmirched Tea) on Feb 25, 2018
I'm thinking same as #1
#5: Carol Brand (KarylAnn) on Feb 25, 2018
I agree with Leigh
#6: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Feb 25, 2018
Or possibly a school?

Kristen, your "sea beasties" comment makes me think of krakkens. What would a group of krakkens be called? You know, other than "certain death".

Another good idea for a series Brian! On to the next one

From Uncle Wiki:
The English word kraken is taken from Norwegian. In Norwegian Kraken is the definite form of krake, a word designating an unhealthy animal or something twisted (cognate with the English crook and crank). In modern German, Krake (plural and declined singular: Kraken) means octopus, but can also refer to the legendary kraken.

So, it's one Krake, but two Kraken. Who knew?

O.o

I just edited my comment. I's misread it the first time (kraken is plural)
#15: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Mar 1, 2018
So, "release the kraken" is even more ominous than I thought.
#16: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Mar 4, 2018
Indeed!

I think the collective noun for Kraken should be as suggested above: A Certain Death of Kraken.... And if there are no Kraken to be found? A Certain Dearth of Kraken....

I think you're onto something, there.
