Leviathan (Supernatural)

🐙 The Leviathans are a Lovecraftian extra-dimensional race in the fictional universe of the Supernatural television series--incredibly ancient, shoggoth-like shapeshifters who are sometimes referred to as the Old Ones.

Background[]

The main villains in Supernatural's seventh season, the Leviathans are shapeshifting monsters, a ravenously destructive race that sees other lifeforms as inferior, to be destroyed or treated as a food source. In their true forms, they are perceived by humans as balls of black goo with powerful jaws. When possessing human hosts, they dislocate their jaw, displaying a forked tongue and large teeth. Their society has a hierarchy based on strength and fear, in which they betrayal is the norm and those who fail or annoy others are eaten. Death referred to the Leviathans as "the Old Ones."

In the show's mythology, they predate the angels. Immortals that are virtually indestructible, they are able to fly, block angels' powers by their physical presence, regenerate from virtually any injury, have enhanced senses, possess venomous blood that can kill angels, and have super strength, agility, and speed.
