Leviathan is a sea monster referred to in the Hebrew Bible (the Christian Old Testament). The word leviathan has become synonymous with any large sea monster or creature. In Christian tradition, the Leviathan is associated with Satan. In modern literature (such as the novel Moby Dick) it refers to great whales, and in Modern Hebrew, it means simply "whale."
According to legend, the leviathan was a fire-breathing creature of such immense size that the sea boils when it swims on the surface. The Leviathan's skin is like a double coat of mail, with overlappping scales as large as shields on its back, and as sharp and hard as broken pottery on it's under-parts. Swords and harpoons will simply bounceoff such protection. It breaths smokes from its nostrils and flames from it's mouth which is rimmed with teeth. Its fins radiate a brilliant light and its eyes are like the glimmerings of dawn.
