Tiamat (Fate/Grand Order)

🐙 Tiamat (aka, Beast II and Titan) is a Lovecraftian-like cosmic entity from the fictional universe of the Fate/Grand Order mobile game.

Background

Tiamat is the Goddess of Chaos, who randomly designed life. She is the sea of life, circulating the True Ether of Genesis. An entity who enjoys being the mother of all, full of joy and love her children. She is also filled with hatred due to being abandoned by her children who turned on her and destroyed, exiled, or imprisoned the goddess. Millennia later she was awakened from her deep slumber by the collapse of the Human Order Foundation, the Grail's power, and Chaldea's attack. She returned to Earth to exterminate humanity and be reunited with her children.

She is a being who doesn't speak any human language, her voice sounding like a sound which can only be understood by her children. She has various abilities including being able to transform, alter her size, possess others, remaking other organisms into its minions, a barrier which subverts the theory of evolution, and monstrous strength.

Behind the Mythos

The name of Tiamat is taken from the Mesopotamian pantheon. She was believed to be a divine creatrix and primordial goddess of the sea. With her mate Apsu (also spelled Abzu), the god of groundwater, she created the younger gods. Tiamat was seen as the monstrous embodiment of the chaos of primordial creation. She is also referenced in the Judeo-Christian Bible, and a version of her depicted as a dragon goddess appears in Dungeons & Dragons.
