Leviathan is a word that Matt used to describe him, but that doesn't mean that it's the same thing as any particular monster from any particular Monster Manual; the word itself has a VERY ancient and complex etymology going back to ancient Mesopotamian cuneiform source material... but has been used since to describe everything from Thomas Hobbes personification of the state to (most recently) a particular species of predatory sperm whale that was a contemporary and competitor of the Megalodon shark.
