Kraken and Leviathan: Difference between revisions

* Steve Alten writes a lot of books with these; his novel Meg was about a Megalodon (sixty foot prehistoric shark) that makes it to the surface after surviving down in the Marinara Trench. [[Hilarity Ensues]]. It suffered from some [[Sequelitis]] though. His more recent novel The Loch deals with, of course, [[Stock Ness Monster|the Loch Ness Monster]]. In a twist however, Nessie isn't a peaceful plesiosaur but a giant eel with a taste for tourists.

* The Leviathan makes an appearance during [[The End of the World as We Know It]] in ''[[Good Omens]]''. Since this particular apocalypse has all the Biblical imagery being filtered through a boy who has recently overdosed on [[Green Aesop|Green Aesops]], its immediate action is to attack a Japanese whaling ship.

* Among the whales are [[Moby Dick]] and the giant shark from ''[[Pinocchio]]'' [[Disneyfied]] into a giant whale (and thus, the 'big fish' from the Bible that inspired it).

* Drowned Wednesday from the [[Keys to the Kingdom]] series was cursed to turn into a massive, omniphagic whale.
