Lleviathan

From Dragon Quest Wiki

Lleviathan (ぬしさま Nushi sama) is a giant boss shaped like a whale in Dragon Quest IX, appearing in the costal village of Porth Llaffan.

There are two Lleviathans you can meet in the game, one is the Fygg-changed form of Jona Joness, the other is a real Lleviathan that lives around for a long time. The first is a boss that must be beaten to continue the main story. The other is available after the game is beaten, met through a quest given by Jona Jones.

Etymology[edit]

  • The Japanese name of Lleviathan is ぬしさま, where ぬし(nushi) means "the Lord" or "god" and さま(sama) is a suffix used for courteous addressing. This is probably because Lleviathan is worshiped by the inhabitants of Porth Llaffan as the God of Sea.
  • The double L in its name is the Welsh Ll sound, owing to the Welsh dialect found in Porth Llaffan.
  • Lleviathan is a reference to the Leviathan, a sea monster mentioned in the Jewish Tanakh and Christian Bible. It appears as a metaphor in the Book of Job and as the creature that swallows up Jonah in the titular book, which is played out when Lleviathan swallows Jona Jones before the Hero engages the creature in battle.
