Lamed ל for Leviathan (לִוְיָתָן), from the series of scary stories: The Sea Monster
The Old Testament first mentions the Leviathan, so stories about this scary creature from the depths can be found in Judaism, Christianity, and mainstream culture. Leviathan is a huge creature resembling a serpent, with a great armor of scales that protects it from all attacks.
According to the Old Testament, it isn’t just a sea monster but also a fallen seraph (demon), exiled to the sea for causing rebellion in Eden. From Jewish legends, we learn that God created a male and a female Leviathan, but later killed the female and preserved her for the righteous because if the Leviathans reproduced, the world would not survive. On Judgment Day, the meat of the monster will be served to the righteous, and its skin will be used to cover the tent where the feast will take place.
