Legendary sea monsters

Answer:

KRAKENS

Hint:

These colossal cephalopods of Norse mythology were said to drag entire ships underwater with their massive, sucker-lined arms. Sailors once blamed them for mysterious disappearances in the North Atlantic.

Explanation:

"Legendary sea monsters" points to "KRAKENS" because these giant, squid-like creatures are famous in mythology for dragging ships underwater. The plural form fits the clue since it refers to multiple monsters, not just one. Norwegian folklore originally described the kraken as a colossal, tentacled beast, and modern pop culture keeps the legend alive.
