Leviathan
Leviathans are immense whale-like creatures that aren't necessarily found in the water. Most leviathans feature extraordinarily large mouths that could seemingly swallow the sea or the sky. They are not to be confused with krakens.
The first card to bear the creature type was Leviathan in The Dark, though the Segovian Leviathan from Legends was later issued errata to become a Leviathan as well. Leviathans are mainly blue.
Storyline
In the Mer Empire civil war Empress Llawan led her own personal leviathan into battle.
Nicol Bolas once fought against a demonic leviathan in the first duel between planeswalkers on the still-young plane of Dominaria. The fight lasted a month, reduced Madara to a third of its original size, and created the first spacial rift. After his victory Bolas feasted on the remains of the leviathan over the course of a year, absorbing its power in the process. When he finished, not much was left besides what eventually became known as the Talon Gates and an assortment of blubber
