* PhysicalGod: The Leviathan was worshiped as a dark oceanic deity by the indigenous people who settled on Darkwater in the 14th century, ultimately driving them to sacrifice themselves. Its worship was picked up by Reverend John Wyckwood three centuries later, leading him and his flock to the same fate. Even being slain during the Miraculous Catch didn't stop it from exerting its will upon the cultists.
* PsychicDreamsForEveryone: The Leviathan has psychically inflicted the inhabitants of Darkwater with nightmares and insomnia since the 14th century, converting those who succumb to its will into cultists seeking to resurrect Cthulhu.



* SealedInsideAPersonShapedCan: In the "Perform the Counter-ritual" ending, Algernon Drake seals the Leviathan inside Edward Pierce -- who is then shown institutionalized in Riverside Institute under the care of Dr. Fuller.
* ThanatosGambit: It allowed itself to be caught, killed and ''eaten'' to further its plans. Of course, death famously doesn't quite mean the same thing to the Star Spawn as it does to humans, and the Leviathan is somehow still "alive" enough to speak to Pierce in visions.
