Behemoth
“Look now at the behemoth, which I made along with you... He moves his tail like a cedar; The sinews of his thighs are tightly knit. His bones are like beams of bronze, His ribs like bars of iron. He is the first of the ways of God; Only He who made him can bring near His sword."
-Job 40:15, 17-19
The Behemoth, a massive creature mentioned in Job (probably an elephant or dinosaur, depending on whom you ask) and used as an illustration of "If you can't overpower this, then what makes you think you know better than God?" Of course, the rabbis soon built gigantic mythologies about Behemoth, making it into a primal beast of the earth, along with Leviathan (Crocodile or dinosaur) as a primal beast of the water, and then inventing newcomer Ziz as a bast of the air.
Silly Midrash!
This is the Final Fantasy version of the Behemoth, which instead is a colossal purple people-eater.
