Leviathan (Final Fantasy III)

Leviathan is a summon in Final Fantasy III, marking his first appearance as a series summon. Originally a creature summoned by the legendary Sage Noah, Leviathan rests within the subterranean depths of the Floating Continent. Leviathan can be called forth into battle with the Leviath Summon Magic spell.
==Profile==
Leviathan appears as a massive sea serpent with purple scales. In the original Famicom release, depending on the version summoned, Leviathan's color scheme would be different.
==Obtained==
 
The Leviath spell to summon Leviathan can be obtained from defeating creature in Lake Dohr on the Floating Continent. Leviathan can be obtained immediately after the party obtains the Invincible from the Ancient Ruins.
Alternatively, the Leviath spell can also be purchased in the final room in Eureka, costing 60,000 gil to purchase from the vendors.
Leviath is a level 7 Summon Magic that can be used by the Evoker, Summoner, and Sage jobs.
==Gameplay==
===Combat===
Leviathan is second strongest summon in the game, being one of the more offensive-oriented summons obtained. Should the Evoker or Sage (3D) summon Leviathan, the creature can unleash two powerful magical attacks; Demon Eye an attack that attempts to inflict the Petrify status on all enemies, and Cyclone, which inflicts wind-elemental damage to all enemies on the field.
The Tidal Wave attack available to Summoners and Sages (2D) is a powerful move that deals massive magic based water-elemental damage to all enemies, making the creature a viable summoning alternative to Bahamut to avoid consuming level 8 MP.
