Since this things had been doing the rounds, I decided to try something myself... a few empty spaces to doodle in and while away I was standing around doing nothing...
I decided to experiment with the concept of my Kraken, Krakatoa, who seems capable of expressing emotion with only eyes, body language and the occassional vocalisation - since he has no proper mouth (just a beak hidden under his tentacles) and can't communicate by speech, being an aquatic creature.
Seems it worked out pretty well.

To summarise the concept:
Happy: Awww! Looks like Krakatoa is happy to see you.
Sad: Hmmm, perhaps Hydrex has told him off for misbehaving and he's giving him a "puppy-eyes" look!
Pleased: Krakatoa seems to feel he's achieved something here...
Angry: The Kraken ain't so pleased now - someone must have rubbed him up the wrong way!
Confused: This is going to take some working out for him...
Tired: Yeah, Krakatoa's had a long day and now he's trying to doze off...
Shocked/Surprised: Whoa! Something gave him rather a start there, causing him to look round with bulging eyes!
Irritated: If that's a harpoon bouncing off his hard spiky scales, some whaler is trying to pick on the wrong cephalopod...
WTF?!: Errrr... did he just try to do that?!
Triumph: Aha! Now he really has achieved something, and is more than just Pleased about it!
Fear: It must be something really scary to frighten a Kraken...
Bereft: Maybe Krakatoa arrived just seconds too late to save a drowning sailor (not Hydrex - just some random human lost at sea) - he's sensitive like that...
Flirty: Yeah, he's very shy...
Serious: Someone's fooling about, but Krakatoa's not in a mood for nonsense right now.
Silly: On the other hand, if Krakatoa gets silly, he might do something like this!
Hollow/Blank: Consider this his normal expression.
Incredulous: Hmm, I don't think he's going to fall for that...
Confident: Whatever situation this is, our Kraken feels sure he can handle it.
Fierce: More than just angry, Krakatoa feels threatened and is ready to show he's ready for trouble.
Despondant/Pouty: Hmm, something didn't go his way, so he's sulking right now.
Drunk: An alcohol spillage at sea perhaps? He's going to have a right head on him in the morning...
Rage: Oh dear! This is not a mood you want to get Krakatoa in! Be glad that you're not the foe that this rage is directed against! Notice, even his tooth-lined beak is visible for once!
Sarcastic: More than Incredulous, Krakatoa knows he's being lied to here and acts like he's playing along. Next, he'll probably stare at you till you tell him the truth!
Disgusted: Something revolting happened, and Krakatoa doesn't want to be near it...
Ill/Nauseous: Krakatoa isn't feeling so good. Maybe he needs some sort of medicine for Krakens. At least it's not serious, though - he'll recover!
