A landfall ability doesn't trigger if a permanent already on the battlefield becomes a land.

2024-11-08wotc

A landfall ability triggers whenever a land you control enters for any reason. It triggers whenever you play a land, as well as whenever a spell or ability puts a land onto the battlefield under your control.

2024-11-08wotc

You may target a creature that's already tapped with Grappling Kraken's ability. In that case, you'll just put a stun counter on that creature.
