Okay, I'll bite.
Why twelve exactly?
Is it a specific reference or just a better number than five, ten or twenty?
Edit: Might be interesting to add badges for defeating specific monsters more than once each. Would bump up the interest in monster hunting (other than making them worth a couple Merits).

I was wondering about that myself. Is twelve some magical number? I do agree why stop at Kraken? Why not a badge for taking out each of the GMS X number of times to increase the interest? |

I also suggested a while ago it might spur some GM battling interest if they came up with a accolade revolving around them. Such as :
Defeat Kraken, Babbage, Lusca, Adamastor, Jurassik, Eochia, Jack in Irons, and the Kronos Titan and be awarded the Master of Monsters Badge/Accolade. Players will be given a 10% increase in Damage Resistance for 2 minutes. This power can be activated once ever 25 minutes. Hey they can make the power whatever they like I just used that as an example because its one you don't see anywhere else and would definately come in handy battling GMs or AVs. Oh I left out poor Sally in Croatoa.. Sorry but a GM I can defeat by sneezing on her hard just doesn't seem worthy of being included in yet another accolade since she already drives players nuts looking for her so they can get the Geas of the Kind Ones.
Then using the OPs idea lets hand out badges for defeating each of the GMS say 5 time or 10 (or even 12 LOL) and when a player has all of those badges the accolade power becomes Maybe 15% or 20% for 3 minutes and can be avtivated every 10 minutes. At that point there will be so many GM teams running people will be here on the forums screaming to have GM spawn times reduced because they can't find them fast enough! :-D

I believe that the OP's choice of the Kraken was likely only for the badge title "Krak is whack". But you are on to something, I think. 
"Krak is Whack" badge awarded for beating the Kraken 12 times.
