First as a powerful addition to the Egyptian navy thanks to its huge amount of HP, good pierce armor, and a high attack. It is an effective "meat shield" for arrow and siege [[Naval unit (Age of Mythology)|ship]]s and can easily be brought back to full health with the help of nearby [[Priest (Age of Mythology)|Priests]] (especially when the latter are upgraded with Nephthys' improvements). When at a disadvantage, the Leviathan must retreat early as it has only average hack armor and speed, leaving it vulnerable to Ramming Ships and [[Hero (Age of Mythology)|Heroes]], its main counters. It is also less effective against other Myth Units as it does not deal bonus damage against them and is furthermore vulnerable to other naval or ranged myth units like [[Jormund Elver]]s, [[Nereid]]s, [[Azure Dragon]]s, and [[Vermilion Bird]]s, all of which deal bonus damage to a Leviathan. Additionally, the Leviathan should be kept away from [[Monk (Age of Mythology)|Monks]] loyal to [[Shennong]], as they can convert it from a distance without the Leviathan even dealing any damage to the Monks. The Leviathan's other function is as a transport. Its high stats make it very difficult to destroy so it is better than transport ships for protecting powerful units. Also, it is immune to [[Zeus]]' [[Bolt]] [[god power]] meaning there is less risk to attack players who worship him. Although it doesn't carry as many units as an upgraded [[Transport Ship (Age of Mythology)|Transport Ship]], players can maximize the Leviathan's potential by training [[Siege Tower (Age of Mythology)|Siege Towers]] and garrison units within them. The towers in turn can enter the Leviathan. == Mythology == {{Quote|Scientific name -- Borborodaes megas<br />Size -- 50'+ long. Rumored to attain miles in length.<br />Diet -- benthic crustaceans and mollusks<br /><br />The word "Leviathan" ("twisted animal" in Hebrew) has been adopted to mean any gigantic monster, but was perhaps originally cited in the Bible and described in great detail. The leviathan was a fire-breathing creature that boiled the ocean when it swam near the surface. Its skin was covered with heavy armored plates like shields, and its belly was encrusted with broken pottery.<br /><br />There is speculation that the word is a corruption of the seven-headed serpent "Lotan", a monster from Canaanite legend that was killed by Baal.}} == Trivia == * The Leviathan is one of three myth units based on the mythology of the Abrahamic religions. The other two are the [[Behemoth]] and the [[Golem]]. * The Leviathan has the third highest amount of HP of any trainable Myth Unit, after the [[Greeks (Age of Mythology)|Greek]] [[Colossus]] and [[Norse]] [[Mountain Giant]]. * The [[Kraken]] used to be able use its instant kill attack on the Leviathan. This was concluded to be a glitch as there is no animation for the sinking of this Myth Unit. == Gallery == <gallery> Leviathan.jpg|Leviathan in-game Leviathan.jpg.png|Another view of the Leviathan Leviathanplayer2.JPG|Player 2 Leviathan KamosLeviathan.png|[[Kamos]] escaping on a Leviathan Concept G Leviatan001.jpg|Leviathan concept art PrereleaseScreenshotLeviathan.jpg|Pre-release screenshot showing a much larger, green Leviathan </gallery> {{Myth units|E}} {{Units List (Age of Mythology)|E}} [[Category:Ships/naval units in Age of Mythology]] [[Category:Heroic Age]] [[Category:Garrison units]] [[es:Leviatán]]
