LOTAN
Canaanite fabulous creature
Also known as Lawtan, Lôtān
The seven-headed fire-breathing croco-dragon sea monster
A primeval serpent creature of fearsome aspect, his monstrous temper and appetite for destruction won him few friends.
He is the servant of Yam the Sea God. After all, where would any self-respecting sea deity be without his trusty serpent assistant?
The Big Bad of several legends, Lotan came to represent an entire genre of fearsome monstrous creatures.
He made lives a misery for many but was eventually chained up by Anath. A great escape is never to be ruled out.
However, legends of him could not be chained — he pops up in the Bible under the name Leviathan and is now more famous than ever.
