==Etymology==
==Nomenclature==
Levias' name is derived from <span lang="he" dir="rtl">[[Wiktionary:לויתן#Hebrew|לויתן]]</span> ''[[Wikipedia:Leviathan|Leviathan]],'' a mythological monster from Biblical text (Job 41). Fittingly, the modern Hebrew form of the word means "whale."
Levias' name is derived from {{wp|Leviathan}}, a sea creature mentioned in Biblical texts. Fittingly, the modern Hebrew form of the word means "whale."


==Theory==
{{Nomenclature}}
{{theory}}
Levias is the second flying whale creature to appear in the series, the first being the [[Wind Fish]] in {{LA}}. Because of this, it has been theorized by some fans that Levias and the Wind Fish may be related, if not the same being.
