leviathanic

Of Epic Proportion
Originally refers to any large sea creature or mythological sea beast - in Hebrew it simply means Whale... agree to disagree.

My, this backlash is Leviathanic!

leviathan

(from Hebrew liwjatan, roughly meaning "twisted" or "coiled") was a Biblical multi-headed sea monster, referred to in passing in the Old Testament (Psalms 74:13-14; Job 41; Isaiah 27:1), probably referring to crocodile or whale. The word leviathan has become synonymous with any large monster or creature.
The Biblical Leviathan is often considered to be a demon associated with Satan or the Devil, and held by some to be the same monster as Rahab (Isaiah 51:9). The Biblical references to Leviathan appear to have evolved from a Canaanite legend involving a confrontation between Baal and a seven headed sea monster which Baal defeats with the aid of Mot, and they also resemble a Babylonian myth in which the storm god Marduk slays the sea monster Tiamat and creates the earth and sky from the two halves of her corpse.

Leviathan may also be interpreted as the sea itself, with its counterpart, Behemoth, being the land.

Certain Jewish legends consider Leviathan as an androgynous dragon that seduced Eve in his male form, and Adam in his female form.

In demonology a Leviathan is every aquatic demon. They are great liars. Leviathans can also possess persons, being very difficult to exorcise; they try to possess every person, but especially women.

The word has been reused (not only in literature) over and again:

in the 1660 book Leviathan by Thomas Hobbes
in the Illuminatus trilogy
in Moby-Dick as a reference to the whale
in the Final Fantasy games
in the Farscape science fiction series (living spaceship)
in the 1989 film Leviathan

In Hebrew, leviathan also means a device for washing raw wool.

leviathan

A large, land-based, four-wheeled vehicle in Unreal Tournament 2004. It seats one driver and four turret gunmen, and may be transformed into a stationary ion cannon. Players can "fly" the Leviathan by properly aligning a Raptor next to it and then switching to ion cannon mode.

Bitchwhore, stop flying the Leviathan!

leviathan

In Farscape, the hero John meets a giant, living, Leviathan ship named Moya. Leviathans are biomechanical and peacefull to a fault. They can utilize a faster than light method of travel called starburst for defense or long range travel. Leviathans often have a symbiotic pilot.

Tell Moya (leviathan) to starburst out of here NOW!

Reaper Leviathan

The last thing you want to meet while playing Subnautica. It's really fucking creepy and is gonna kill you. For safety reasons, reapers spawn in these biomes, so take care of yourself: The dunes (8 of them), The Mountains (6 of them), and the crash zone (7 of them) plus one in the bulb zone at the edge of the crash zome.

I was casually playing subnautica when this fucking thing so-called the reaper leviathan roared and grabbed my seamoth. Never visiting the dunes again.
