The Leviathan is a large monstrous fish in Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure that resides in his namesake home, Leviathan Lagoon. He is known by the locals for his fearsome reputation of devouring entire villages.

Story

Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure

The Leviathan lurks around the deep water areas of Leviathan Lagoon. He made his terrifying debut by leaping out of the water near the island where the Skylander and Gurglefin were standing on, devouring a vessel full of pirates.

The Leviathan will swallow the playable Water Skylander whole if he catches them swimming in the deep waters he lurks in. Upon getting swallowed, the Skylander finds themselves inside the Leviathan's mouth, along with little money. To get out of the maw of the beast, the Skylander must strike his palantine uvula until the fish spits them out back onto dry land.

When the Skylander goes to retrieve the Eternal Water Source at the end of the pier, they will be swallowed by the Leviathan and encounter Kaos within its belly where the first game boss battle will take place.

Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure (3DS)

In the Nintendo 3DS version of Spyro's Adventure, the Leviathan can be seen flying through the skies of Dreamgardens.

Tip

• After you stop the pirate ship from leaving with the statue they hold, have your Skylander get swallowed by the Leviathan again and you will find Leviathan Lagoon's Legendary Treasure in his mouth.
