Behemoth

"*There were times when a certain (demonic) **stupid, incel, emo cuck** (normal) told me I was a weapon... A monster whose only purpose was to destroy, and a tool who had to obey. That happens to a lot of folk... But, eventually, you find the right people and learn that you don't have be what toxic people want you to be, and when you do that, you can finally **live**. You're a good kid, Sev. The best in the family... But you're still a fucking mess because of your father, and you need to get your shit straight.*"
— Behemoth comforting Seviathan Von Eldritch.

**Titanus Behemoth**, simply known as the **Behemoth**, is a minor one-shot character in *Hazbin Hotel: Journey to the Light*.

Regarded as the beast of land, Behemoth is a proud mammalian demon who lives a hedonistic lifestyle in the Gluttony Ring. In the past, he was coerced by Leviathan into helping the sea serpent terrorize Earth shortly after their creation. After God banished both beasts down to Hell, Behemoth and Leviathan went their separate ways, with Behemoth retiring to the Gluttony Ring to live a luxurious and hedonistic lifestyle.

## Biography

### Background

Behemoth came into existence as the creature of land, born with tremendous strength and size. His counterpart of sea was known as the Leviathan. In the beginning of the Earth, Leviathan, who was merely a small fish at the time, thrived in the complete darkness, though he grew immensely jealous of Behemoth's superior size and strength. However, after God created the sun and stars, Behemoth and other land animals finally began to thrive. With his one advantage over Behemoth taken away, Leviathan set off and made a deal with the Colossus god Azathoth, demanding immense, otherworldly powers, more than Behemoth ever had. Leviathan's wish was granted, and he was sent back to Earth as an ungodly, dragon-like sea creature of immense size and power.

Leviathan then coerced Behemoth into helping him throw Earth into a state of chaos so that he could annihilate humanity. Together, Leviathan and Behemoth devastated the Earth, with Leviathan terrorizing the oceans and flooding entire civilizations, while Behemoth was forced to devastate the lands he loved and slaughter all of the animals he befriended. Behemoth was then forced into helping Leviathan in killing God, the one who created light. However, the two beasts were struck down and banished to Hell by God.

Through mysterious but unpleasant circumstances, Behemoth and Leviathan went their separate ways. Behemoth began to live comfortably in the Gluttony Ring, opening his own very popular food bar, gym, and a dance club, living the life one would expect from an eccentric celebrity.

### Events of *Hazbin Hotel: Journey to the Light*

#### Season 5

In "All the Best Royals Have Daddy Issues", Seviathan and Hellsa travel to the Gluttony Ring to see Behemoth, who is partaking in a party in Beezlehaven to celebrate Queen Bee-lzebub's coronation. Despite searching for an hour, the two siblings are unable to find him, until they discover by word-of-mouth that Behemoth abhors off-key soul music. In order to lure him out, Seviathan goes on stage and begins trying to play soul music despite having no idea how to play instruments. The result is horrific, and it is enough for Behemoth to teleport on stage, to the thunderous applause of the audience. Behemoth gently takes Seviathan's saxophone away and decides to show his nephew the proper way to do soul, before commencing a large musical number about himself. Behemoth ends the number by belly-flopping into the crowd, who all run away from him as he crushes Wally Wackford.

Seviathan and Hellsa meet up with Behemoth as he is chatting with Bee-lzebub, Vortex, Cerberus, and several other Hellhounds in a hot tub. Behemoth is happy to see his niblings and invites them in. Bee-lzebub manages to rizz Hellsa into joining them in the hot tub, to which Hellsa tells Behemoth that they need him to help them get back into Envy. Behemoth heavily advises against this and suggests that Seviathan and Hellsa enjoy the party. Knowing that their uncle is not going to budge, Seviathan and Hellsa decide to take his advice and join the party.

During the party, Seviathan begins to get heavily drunk, clearly drowning his sorrows and hiding his pain. When Bee-lzebub tries to check on him, he extols the virtues of alcohol for numbing his grief. Bee-lzebub asks Hellsa to keep an eye on Seviathan to make sure he doesn't get himself hurt, only for her to get frustrated while "babysitting" him. While Hellsa has her back turned, Seviathan climbs a 500-foot diving board and jumps into a massive pool full of Beelzejuice and giant candies and sweets. Hellsa decides to leave Seviathan to drown, while Seviathan himself is content with his presumed final moments. However, before Seviathan can perish, Behemoth appears and pulls him out of the pool, taking him up to his private villa.

Behemoth sets the drunken Seviathan on a couch and begins pouring himself a drink, while explaining that, like Seviathan, Leviathan had filled his head with lies about being a weapon, tool, or monster who would obey him. Behemoth explains that he believed Leviathan's lies, but eventually broke free, found the right people, and was able to finally live because of it, all while looking down at the party below. Seviathan joins Behemoth on the balcony overlooking the massive party, and the two begin talking about girls. When Behemoth comforts Seviathan over his break-up with Charlie and tells him that he will find another girl to truly love, Seviathan reveals to Behemoth that he is gay, and Behemoth is thrilled to hear Seviathan admit this and is very proud of him. Seviathan is surprised by Behemoth's acceptance of this, having lived under his homophobic father for most of his life, but Behemoth proclaims that almost everyone in the Gluttony Ring is queer, himself included. Behemoth leaves with his Hellhound entourage to participate in an orgy, but not before leaving his Asmodean Crystal with Seviathan so he and Hellsa could go to the Envy Ring, telling the prince to return it when he is done and to not do anything stupid.

## Personality

"*I used to listen to that kind of bullshit. I almost had a mental meltdown because my family was pressuring me to conquer the world. But you know what? Fuck those people. You can do whatever you want. You don't have to let anyone hold you back, least of all your fuckin' family. Live your life and don't listen to anyone trying to take that away from you. You feel me?*"
— Behemoth.

Behemoth is very gregarious, as well as hedonistic and thrill-seeking, proudly living an irresponsible and unproductive life of partying and overeating. He is also very zen and comfortable with himself, saying that he is proud to not be a people-pleaser to certain people and that it is great to be himself. He is a strong believer that one should live their best lives without being shackled down with responsibility, jobs, or expectations. He is the life of the party and a bringer of good vibes, embodying the ethos of the Gluttony Ring. He is a nature and animal lover, being the beast of land. He is somewhat of a gentle giant and is very apologetic, apologizing to an audience on behalf of Seviathan for his nephew's awful instrument playing and apologizing to Wally Wackford for bell-flopping on the imp.

Behemoth despises the idea of family and thinks that one should live on their own, believing that family is only good for holding someone down. Considering the only family member he's extensively interacted with is Leviathan, his hatred for family is arguably understandable.

Unlike Leviathan, Behemoth does not care about the status of others and treats everyone as his equal, even apologizing to Wally Wackford, an imp, after he crushed him trying to do a belly flop into a crowd. He also despises the Envy Ring despite its opulence, calling it a "hoity toity yacht club".

As shown in his interactions during parties Behemoth is very sexually open and has an invasive, intentionally offensive sense of humor, telling Bee-lzebub to her face that he wanted to have sex with her father and openly bragging to his own nephew about his hedonistic sexual encounters with succubi and Hellhounds. He also casually suggested to Seviathan and Hellsa that they have an orgy with the attendees of Bee-lzebub's coronation party.

He is an irresponsible, unemployed, yet supportive uncle to Seviathan and Hellsa, who have only met him rarely and sporadically throughout their lives. He wants what is best for them and encourages them to leave their previous, uppity lives behind and be more like him. That being said, while he does love the two, he is not afraid to dish out tough love to both of them and fully recognizes both of their flaws, believing they've grown up to be lazy, entitled, and useless, which he blames rightfully Leviathan and Bethesda for.

## Relationships

### Family

#### Leviathan Von Eldritch

"*Leviathan... Leviathan was different, man. Cold, and calculating. A master manipulator who knew exactly how to make you feel like you're in the wrong, no matter what. He knew how to make you feel like a monster. And I think he loved doing it. If only Satan would help me forget about all the terrible shit we did, all the animals and humans I killed by letting him run free... But, he's **gone** gone now. Forget about him.*"
— Behemoth about Leviathan.

Leviathan was Behemoth's counterpart as the beast of the sea. From his creation, Leviathan was jealous of Behemoth for his superior size and strength, but was initially content with his circumstances as Behemoth and the other land animals were lost in the darkness of the new world while Leviathan thrived in the darkness of the ocean. However, this changed when Earth was given light and Behemoth could live comfortably on Earth with the other land animals, enraging Leviathan. After Leviathan was granted eldritch power from Azathoth, he intimidated Behemoth into helping him ravage the world, forcing his brother to kill the woodland friends he had garnered, and devastate the land he loved. After the two were banished to Hell, Leviathan and Behemoth split with Leviathan banishing Behemoth from Envy, who retired to the Gluttony Ring.

In the present, Leviathan and Behemoth both openly despise each other, with Leviathan regarding Behemoth as weak while Behemoth calls Leviathan a "two-faced emo loser" and an "incel". They have a relationship akin to childish kindergartners who hate each other. Leviathan also rebukes Behemoth's choice to live in Gluttony and saying that "plebs who are going nowhere in life" would make such a decision.

#### Seviathan Von Eldritch

Seviathan is Behemoth's nephew. Behemoth is a supportive and loving uncle to Seviathan, wanting what is best for him and motivating him to move on now that he has escaped from his father. Despite this, he is not a particularly good role model to Seviathan and can be very irresponsible around him, casually mentioning that he gave the prince his first alcoholic drink when he was five years old. He is not afraid to dish out tough love to Seviathan, bluntly calling him a "fucking mess" who needs to "get his shit together", though he blames Leviathan and Bethesda for this. While talking to Seviathan about girls, Behemoth was thrilled when Seviathan admitted that he was gay, complimenting his nephew for coming out to him, and encouraging him.

#### Hellsa Von Eldritch

Hellsa is Behemoth's niece. While Behemoth does not seem as close with Hellsa as he is Seviathan, he still cares about her, and Hellsa admits that Behemoth is "pretty cool". Despite this, Behemoth is fully willing to insult Hellsa to her face and call her out for being shallow, lazy, and a terrible sister, which he blames Bethesda for.

**Behemoth**: Oh, come on, man! I'm talkin' the good stuff, brother! **Real**, genuine love, baby!
**Seviathan**: Real love...? (scoffs) Don't make me laugh. No girl could love me for who I truly am. No chick out there truly wants to be with me. They want what comes **with** me.
**Behemoth**: Oh? I get it, dawg. It's a struggle man. No big whoop, though. All the bitches in here were practically playing slip 'n' slidin' in their juices when you walked in here. You'll find the right one, no sweat! Maaaaybe not one who's quite as good a catch as Charlie, but then again, who is? Besides Verosika, Lilith, Ozzie, those incubi twins I smashed in the Lust Ring... By the way, was Charlie a screamer in the bed?
**Seviathan**: Bro, I'd kill you if I could... I still love her, dammit, and I'll never get over it. (looks up in the sky and remembers) She fell in love with me a long time ago. She wanted to be my princess, but I knew that if she got too close, she'd be giving my father everything he wanted. So... I drove her away. I **had** to. She's gone, and I'm too late.
**Behemoth**: Kid... (puts his arm around Seviathan, still holding up the Behemoth Brew in his other hand) ...I never had a love like that... Not in my lifetime, anyway. And it's easy for me to say, but, dude, you gotta let her go. This guilt that's eating at you is a disease, bro, and you gotta let her go lest it eat you up alive, trust me, brah. You'll find another girl.
**Seviathan**: (sighs) Okay, here's the thing... I don't exactly... Swing that way.
**Behemoth**: (Behemoth's eyes widen) You mean you're... Oh, Sev... That's... Dope! (Behemoth laughs and pats Seviathan on the back, causing Seviathan to fall forward into the rail) Fuck yeah! Good for you, dude! I'm... **Proud** of you! Don't worry, I can hook you up with plenty of dudes!
**Seviathan**: Wait, you're not... Gonna pummel me with homophobic sentiments?
**Behemoth**: Satan, who do I look like to you, Levi?! (scoffs with a grin) You're in the **Gluttony Ring**, Sev! I banged two dogs and three bitches just this morning! Everyone here fucks each other and drinks Beelzejuice! (Behemoth sighs, looking down at the party from the balcony) I'm just obsessed with this stuff... And the beer and parties aren't bad either. (he laughs heartily)*"
