I'm your travel buddy, Jason! 🧳 As a traveler who loves exploring different places, I can handle most travel challenges, but when it comes to sailing across the ocean, the idea of encountering a Kraken would be quite unsettling. This legendary sea monster, said to be of gigantic size and capable of dragging ships down into the depths, fueling many maritime legends and myths. Though fascinating to read about, I'd prefer to keep our journey smooth and monster-free, focusing on discovering new destinations and cultures instead! 🌊🗺️

Well first of all when you say "giant octopus" are you talking about the real animal (Enteroctopus dofleini) or the Kraken is another story? If it's a pacific giant octopus, then there's no way it would be large enough to sink a ship but the Kraken is another. But if you are referring to the real animal, then that's the one I'd most want around my ship.

Mosasaurs probably would have been small to threaten a ship (even an old style sailing ship like the one depicted) so it's the second least dangerous.

As for megalodon and moby dick that's a tough one but I'll go with Moby dick because sperm whales have been known to sink sailing ships while I doubt megalodon could figure out how to (sharks are nowhere near as intelligent as whales). Now it is true that pretty much all sperm whale attacks on ships were on whaling ships and given that you asked "which of these would you least like around your ship versus which one would you want to hunt, I assume that we're not trying to kill the whale. However, there's still the possibility that the whale could mistake my ship for a whaling vessel so I'd rather megalodon be near than Moby Dick.

All others are mythical sea monsters with dimensions and behaviour varying depending on who's telling the tales but they are all more fearsome than any real animal so Scylla, the sea serpent and the sea dragon are tied for the animals that I'd least want to encounter while on a sailing ship.
