** Initially, Leviathan was conspicuous by its absence in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXVI'', with it being referred to briefly as "Leviathan the Lost." The DLC expansion "The Rising Tide" is dedicated to introducing Leviathan to the roster of Eikons and explaining its absence in the main plot.

** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'': Sin is an unusual example in that it shows it can fly toward the middle of the game, but otherwise fits this trope, being a cetacean-esque sea monster bigger than a city.

* [[Myth/CelticMythology Irish mythology]] has The Mata, also known as the muirselche. While its exact description is somewhat vague, most often it's described as a colossal, kraken-like octopus or cephalopod. Though other descriptions include an enormous turtle, or a multi-headed, multi-limbed monstrosity. What is known is that it was big enough to create or drink up seas, and hunted by [[VacuumMouth sucking in a flood tide of water from which none could escape.]] The creature was eventually slain by [[TopGod The Dagda]] using his Staff of Wrath [[ThunderHammer Lorg Mor]] which also caused the sea it was living in to reced. Some believe this may have originally been part of the Celtic creation myth.

The Leviathan in the Bible is often taken to be a view of a whale and is sometimes translated directly as whale. (Notably, the "big fish" that swallowed Jonah was often interpreted as a whale or leviathan but nowadays people are having a lot of fun with it as a megalodon.) Indeed, the modern Hebrew word for whale is לויתן, or leviathan. Strangely, the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leviathan actual biblical description of a leviathan]] suggests that it has legs and is able to move on land, and seems to refer to armour plates or scales (in fact, if one ignores the WordOfDante and the [[BreathWeapon fire-breathing]], it sounds quite like a [[NeverSmileAtACrocodile very large crocodile]]). Broadly speaking, however, medieval and older cultures rarely made very granular distinctions between different types of huge marine creatures -- consider, for isntance, how whales were considered to be a type of fish -- which means that, in both ancient and modern fiction, the Leviathan or leviathans are varyingly depicted as outsized sea dragons, SeaSerpents, giant fish or {{Monster Whale}}s.
