Behemoth is monster #4 from Series 1.
Series 1[]
Behemoth is a twenty-five point monster and is available in purple and green, and the later neon green, neon red, neon yellow and violet re-release colours. It was also one of the monsters included in the board game, in an exclusive pine green colour. The Behemoth figurine appears as a bipedal creature with a scaled skin detail, with a large head and protruding tusks. Most, but not all, traditional renderings of Behemoth show it as a quadruped, and it is always described as having a tail, which the figure lacks.
Official biography[]
Species: Giant herbivore
Born: Between the I and the XII century A.C.
Habitat: African desert
Behemoth, called "the king of animals" seems like a gigantic hippo. He spends his days feeding himself. When he's hungry he is capable of scooping out a fruit and vegetables shop in a blink of an eye and when he is thirsty he's capable to drain a lake in one sip. This appetite have already caused famine and drought all over the world. Although this monster does not devour people (he is a convinced vegetarian) his strength is so much, he can cut down an army in one backlash. Then, if you ever hear a gurgling, pray that is your stomach and not Behemoth.

Origin[]
Behemoth is a beast from the biblical Book of Job, and is a form of the primeval chaos-monster created by God at the beginning of creation; he is paired with the other chaos-monster, Leviathan, and according to later Jewish tradition both would become food for the righteous at the end-time. Metaphorically, the name has come to be used for any extremely large or powerful entity.
