'''Lleviathan''' is a boss in {{Dragon Quest IX}}.


'''Lleviathan''' (ぬしさま ''Nushi sama'') is a giant boss shaped like a whale in {{Dragon Quest IX}}, appearing in the costal village of [[Porth Llaffan]].
==Characteristics==
 
Lleviathan is an immense [[Aquatic family|cetecean]] with navy blue skin, a pale red underside, and solid yellow eyes. He has a pair of wings on each side and a fin that runs down his tail, both with dark purple membrane, and horns jutting out all over his body. He uses his wings to swim through the air. In battle, Llevithan can call forth tidal waves using his power over the sea and uses his large tail in sweeping attacks.
There are two Lleviathans you can meet in the game, one is the [[Fygg]]-changed form of [[List of characters in Dragon Quest IX#Jona Jones|Jona Jones]]s, the other is a real Lleviathan that lives around for a long time. The first is a boss that must be beaten to continue the main story. The other is available after the game is beaten, met through a [[quest]] given by [[List of characters in Dragon Quest IX#Jona Jones|Jona Jones]].

====2nd Battle====
The real Lleviathan is encountered in the postgame during [[Template:DQIXQuest/39|Quest #39: Follow That Fish!]]. The Hero returns to Porth Llaffan to visit Jona, who thinks that the mysterious shadow she saw in the sea is the actual Lleviathan himself. She asks for the hero's help in summoning him. Equip a party member with a [[Watermaul wand]], a [[Flowing dress]], and a [[Silver shield]], then head to the Cuddiedig Cliff where Llevithan was previous encountered. Jona performs the ritual and the deity appears, challenging the hero to a battle.
