A massive sea serpent that effortlessly controls water and rules all who dwell in the oceans. The raging swell of his "Tsunami" is enough to consume even the fiercest of foes.

Dissidia Final Fantasy Summon Compendium

Leviathan (リヴァイアサン, Rivaiasan? or リバイアサン, Ribaiasan?), also known as Levia, Leviatan and Leviathn, is a summon in the Final Fantasy series.

Leviathan has been been depicted as both male and female, depending on the game. A giant sea serpent, he first appeared as a monster that swallowed the party in Final Fantasy II. Leviathan has since gone on to become one of the most prominent summons in the series alongside Bahamut, being known by titles such as "the Sea King", or "Lord of All Waters". In the later titles of the series, Leviathan's prominence diminished in comparison to Bahamut.

Leviathan's trademark attack is Tidal Wave, also known as Tsunami, which calls on a massive wave of water to damage all enemies.

The Eidolon King... Born of the Northern Sea itself, he is the Lord of All Waters, and unchallenged champion of the Eidolons.

Eidolon Library

For battle information, see Leviathan (Final Fantasy IV 2D) or Leviathan (Final Fantasy IV 3D)

Leviathan is "The Lord of All Waters" and is the king of the Eidolons that live on a parallel plane of existence in the Underworld—the Feymarch—and rules the summoned monsters with Queen Asura. He knows that Rydia of Mist was one of the last surviving Summoners.

When Rydia is crossing the ocean with Cecil, Edward, and Yang to Baron, Leviathan attacks the ship and carries Rydia off into the Feymarch to protect her and train her in her summoning abilities. Later on the player can enter the Feymarch and defeat Leviathan to earn him as a summon if they have also defeated Asura.

Leviathan has a casting time of 3 and costs 50 MP to summon in 2D releases. In the 3D releases he costs 75 MP. Leviathan uses Tsunami to attack all enemies for heavy non-elemental (water-elemental in the 3D version) damage. In the Easy Type version, the casting time was reduced to 2.

Lunar Leviathan is a boss in Palom and Porom's Lunar Trials sidequest at the Lunar Ruins in the Advance and Complete Collection versions. Defeating him earns a Grimoire that can call Lunar Leviathan to attack all enemies for a guaranteed 9,999 damage.

Leviathan appears in the Advance and mobile/Steam versions in the World of Ruin. He is acquired along the route from South Figaro to Nikeah by ferry, after a boss fight. His attack, Tidal Wave, deals heavy water-elemental damage to all enemies. He costs 70 MP to summon and his power is 130. He teaches Flood at a rate of x2, and gives +2 Stamina for every level up.

Final Fantasy VII

See the Summon sequence here.

The Leviathan Summon Materia is obtained in Wutai Village after Yuffie defeats the fifth and last pagoda god, Godo. It casts Tidal Wave and costs 78 MP. Leviathan was one of the summons to also appear in the original 1996 Aeris demo release where, for a cost of only 40 MP, Aeris could summon Leviathan into battle to use his Tsunami attack, the original name for Tidal Wave. Leviathan's spell power is equal to 4.6875x the base magic damage.

Final Fantasy VIII

Sketch by Tetsuya Nomura.

Main article: Leviathan (Final Fantasy VIII)

The Guardian Force Leviathan can be drawn from NORG. If missed, it can later be drawn from Trauma in the final dungeon.

Leviathan's Tsunami attack is a water-elemental attack that damages all enemies and can also wash away smaller enemies, defeating them instantly. Its compatibility item is Fish Fin and its opposing GF is Quezacotl whose summoning deducts from Leviathan's compatibility the most.

Leviathan learns Magic and Spirit junctions and elemental attack and defense. It is the only Guardian Force to learn the Recover command naturally, which deals a full heal up to 9999 HP to a target and can thus also be used to damage undead opponents. It learns a support ability that has the junctioner automatically use a recovery potion when they are hit by an enemy. Its unique abilities make support magic and GF recovery medicine from items, and an ability that boosts the user's Spirit upon level up.

Its Triple Triad card modifies into Doc's Codes and is held by CC Group Joker in Balamb Garden Training Center (he appears randomly in the easternmost screen after Garden has become mobile).

Final Fantasy IX

See the Summon sequence here.

The eidolon Leviathan is obtained at the Iifa Tree as part of the story. It is taught through the Aquamarine for 40 AP. Dagger can summon Leviathan's Tsunami, which deals Water damage to all enemies. Tsunami's spell power is augmented by the total number of Aquamarines in the party's inventory. If Leviathan is added to Dagger's roster of eidolons at the beginning of the game via a cheating device, before Dagger has her eidolons extracted, Leviathan costs 168 MP to summon; its normal cost when acquired normally is 42 MP. Summoning Leviathan earns the Surf's Up achievement in the mobile and Steam versions.

Eiko explains that the summoner tribe failed to summon Leviathan and so sealed him away near the Iifa Tree using Carbuncle as the seal. Dagger rushes to find Leviathan and unseal him to save her mother from Kuja's attack, but realizes she can't use Leviathan to save Brahne since she is currently with her fleet of ships.

Leviathan is mentioned in an old memo written by Hironobu Sakaguchi for the development of Final Fantasy IX. Upon their first meeting Princess Garnet would have rushed past Zidane and "a thief" (Blank in the final game), and while the thief would have focused on Garnet's chest being slightly revealed in her formal dress, Zidane would take notice of the pendant she was wearing: "No, no, she was wearing the pendant of the summons permitted by only royalty. Deep blue stone... 'The Legend of Leviathan', was it Princess Garnet?" This could refer to Garnet's royal pendant being the summoning jewel for Leviathan in the early story drafts. In the final game, Garnet is unaware the pendant is a fragment of Alexander's summoning jewel.

Tetra Master

Template:FFIX Tetra Master

Final Fantasy XI

Leviathan is one of the six celestial avatars and represents the water element. The job class Summoner can unlock the "spell" Leviathan upon completion of the quest "Trial By Water". Alternatively, a brave low-level Summoner may go on the quest "Trial Size Trial By Water" and defeat Leviathan in a battle alone rather than in a group. He retains his trademark move, Tidal Wave as his Astral Flow ability.

He was a great sea serpent who used to terrorize the Gugru Sea, in protest of the development of sea commerce. All attempts to defeat him failed, until a war hero named Veydal, who lived in an island kingdom in the middle of the Gugru Sea, volunteered to resolve the situation. He wanted to apologize to Leviathan and try to discuss with him. However, his first mate was too eager to fight and attacked the sea serpent before the order was given, which caused Leviathan to rampage.

Forced to defend his men, Veydal offered his life to Leviathan in return for theirs. The rest of his crew fled, including the first mate. Veydal was last seen falling into the sea in fierce combat with the serpent. Upon returning home, Veydal's first mate claimed the victory as his own. However, the next day, Leviathan's body washed ashore, with Veydal's sword planted in his skull. The serpent wished to honor the memory of the brave warrior and show the truth to his kinsmen, in a dying effort.

Altana, moved by Leviathan's gesture and Veydal's courage, called them both to the heavens. She transformed Leviathan into the Celestial Avatar of Water. Veydal is the name of the brightest, dark-blue colored star of the Leviathan constellation.

Leviathan is also the name of a server.

Official render of Leviathan.

Leviathan appears as the primal of the Sahagin beastmen tribe.

Leviathan was originally scheduled to appear as a boss in the original version, but following the tsunami disaster of 2011, his and Titan's plotlines were seen as inappropriate for the time and were shelved.

In A Realm Reborn, Leviathan appears as the final boss of the "Through the Maelstrom" scenario introduced in the game's 2.2 patch. Leviathan first appears during the "The Gift of Eternity" main scenario quest, during which he is summoned by a Sahagin Priest. Leviathan absorbs the spirit of the priest and dives into the ocean. After obtaining a specially-outfitted boat, the Whorleater, to fight the primal on equal footing, the Warrior of Light and their allies defeat Leviathan out at sea. His signature attack during the battle is Tidal Wave, which can be defended against by activating a force field powered by an Elemental Converter.

In addition to the scenario version of the boss, players may face a stronger version of Leviathan in "The Whorleater (Extreme)" instance, which offers the chance to obtain Leviathan-themed weapons and several drops for crafting furniture and stylized chocobo barding.

Another Leviathan appears as a boss in Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers at the Eden Raid, a version of the primal summoned from the memories of the Warrior as restore water-aspect aether to the wastelands of the Empty.

Leviathan began to cause trouble in Liberte around the time of Glassworks Fair. He had sent his minions to make Captain Drake and his crew attack the city to steal all of the objects in Liberte's town hall. The captain and his crew stole Pione's vase with Lilibelle inside, and the Rusty Compass. After the Rusty Compass was stolen, the Cetus was forced into an eternal slumber and city of Liberte was overrun by Leviathan's minions.

After being sent into the past, the Heroes of Light travel to Liberte a day before the events of the Glassworks Fair and help Pione by bringing Lilibelle for his vase. The next day, the party discovers that Captain Drake and his crew robbed the city of the artwork and kidnapped both Pione and Lilibelle. The party travels to the Pirate Hideout and discovers that Captain Drake was being manipulated by Leviathan's minion. The party defeats the Sea Devil and frees Pione and Lilibelle.

Captain Drake apologizes for his actions and gives the party the Rusty Compass. The party returns to Liberte and resurrects the Cetus. The party then takes the Cetus to the east and defeats Leviathan, bringing peace to Liberte. Later, Leviathan is revived within the Star Chamber, but it is defeated once more.

Etymology

[view · edit · purge]Leviathan (Biblical Hebrew לִוְיָתָן or לווייתן Liwyāthān) is a violent sea creature referred to in the Hebrew Bible as well as the Talmud and some other ancient Jewish texts. The Ugaritic equivalent being Lotan. During the golden age of seafaring, the term Leviathan became synonymous with any large sea creature, sometimes describing whales. Bible scholars interpreted Leviathan to be either a demonic sea creature and an enemy of God.

The Talmud and other ancient Jewish sources refer to Leviathan more specifically as a sea serpent, sometimes with multiple heads capable of breathing fire, that was made on the fifth day of Creation. It is said that during the end of days, God will make tents, or sukkah, out of the skin of Leviathan for the righteous to live in. Some have speculated that Leviathan was based on a real animal, the most popular theory being the Kronosaurus and the Nile crocodile.

Leviathan is also one of the seven princes of Hell associated with the deadly sin Envy and Hell's gatekeeper in Christian demonology.

In the Final Fantasy series, Leviathan is sometimes referred to as the King of the Seas. Its incarnation in the series appears to derive from the legends of the Shinto god Ryūjin or Owatatsumi, said to be the dragon god that reigns over the seas. It also resembles the Chinese dragon, mystical beings seen as the rulers of moving bodies of water, and the Dragon God as the dispenser of rain.

Trivia

• Although Leviathan itself does not make an appearance in Final Fantasy XII, the Dreadnought Leviathan is an imperial airship, and serves a major role in the storyline.
