Leviathan (VII Remake)

Leviathan is a summoning materia in Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. It summons Leviathan, a colossal flying sea serpent whose non-elemental attacks deal major damage to enemies.
It is based on on the summon from the original Final Fantasy VII with the same appearance and special attack. Leviathan is worshiped as a god in Wutai, but Chadley creates a version of it usable as a summon. Leviathan is the largest summon, a flying sea serpent who looks like a Chinese dragon whose fins resemble wings. Chinese dragons traditionally symbolize control over water, typhoons and floods.
==Obtained==
The Leviathan Materia is obtained in Chadley's Battle Intel mission in Chapter 13 "A Broken World" where the player must fight the serpent in a VR mission.
The player gets Leviathan's materia in Rebirth if they have a save file from Remake when starting the game.

After acquiring the Leviathan materia, the player can set it to any playable character's weapon and summon the serpent in battle when the command becomes available. Summoning Leviathan costs 2 ATB segments. Its attacks deal non-elemental damage. Because Leviathan is a large summon, it can only be summoned in more open arenas.
If the player summons Leviathan against the Hell House, they get the following commentary:
:Kotch: The spiteful dragon of the sea is here in the arena! I'm warning you folks: you will get wet!
:Scotch: Hold on tight, ladies and gentlemen, for the fury of the ocean might swallow you whole!
==Behind the scenes==
The developers originally wanted to bring back Ramuh who appears in most Final Fantasy games. He was dropped in favor of Leviathan to allow players to summon the water serpent in Mako Reactor 1, something that was possible in the Final Fantasy VII demo, during chapter select.
