Leviathan the Evil God-Beast
From Devil May Cry Wiki
The great beast Leviathan is a flying biological weapon created by the Devil-king. Sparda sealed it away with Temen-ni-gru, but it was released by Vergil and Arkham. It's body is a gateway to the Hell of Envy, and the Ignis Fatuus, composed of the souls of those sent to Hell, is Leviathan's power source.[1][2] Its heart and lungs can be considered their own entity, and one that will protect itself at all costs; its lungs can absorb Red Orbs and White Orbs from Dante and Hell Envys, and the heart can use them to fire energy spheres and red lasers. [3] Leviathan's digestive tract is populated by two Gigapedes and many Hell Envys.
Leviathan swallows Dante as he is running down the tower after awakening his Devil Trigger, and Dante wanders throughout his entire body until he slays the beast's heart, causing it to crash into the Subterranean Garden. Dante then escapes out of its eye.
[edit] Background
Leviathan is sea monster mentioned in the Old Testament as a gigantic fish that cannot be killed by man, but at the end of times. God will kill it and the Behemoth, and its flesh will be served to the righteous at a banquet in a tent made from its skin. In Christianity, it is considered to be the demon of Envy, who punishes the corresponding sinners.
[edit] Trivia
The design on Leviathan's heart and its behavior (down to the pained, chilling scream when you knock out a lung) are the same as those on the Nightmare.
