Behemoth: The male counter part of the enormously large Leviathan of Biblical mythology. The Behemoth was so large that it could swallow large amounts of land. It is believed that on the day of Judgement the Leviathan would fight the Behemoth in mortal combat. The flesh left from this struggle would provide food for the virtuous people who will survive judgement. In the Muslim tradition the Behemoth is the same as the Bahamut, the fish that supports the earth. In Christianity the Behemoth appears as a white Elephant possessed by the Devil.

Uhmm, wow. I guess only the name is the same O.o

I'd guess that a vast majority of monsters or things in final fantasy games come from some sort of mythology, Odin,Chaos, Ragnarok are all Norse, Chimeras weren't invented by final fantasy, and as already said Behemoth and Leviathan have been talked about in the past.

A mythology with Cactuars Tonberries and Chocobos would be pretty cool though.
