WHY They Are Called Leviathans...

[pbandjeremy1994]

Ever wondered why the Reaper and the rest of the planned Leviathan-Class Fauna have serpentine bodies? That's because the word "Leviathan" is also the name of a serpentine, Biblical sea monster referenced in the Old Testement. Most classic depictions of the monster consist of a giant Sea Dragon that once roamed Earth's Oceans (therefore, the planned "Sea Dragon Leviathan" also happens to bare the closest resemblence to the actual Biblical Leviathan). Today, the word "Leviathan" is used to refer to any substantially large sea monster, and in Modern Hebrew, it literally means "whale". Just a little bit of trivia I wanted to point out.

Well... My theory that they just randomly pointed into dictionary is busted...

Looks like the bible borrowed it from the Mesopotamians. I suspect they got it from an even earlier culture we have list the records of.

The Reaper is relatively small to be classed as a leviathan, what is that Lost River creature classified as then? Destroyer of Worlds?

I heard somewhere that it's going to be called the "Ghost Leviathan". IMHO, I think "Banshee Leviathan" sounds much cooler.

Wrong. They called it like that because "Gyarados" was already taken.

True story.
