Beh'-Moth the Devourer

Nothing is known of this being, aside from the name. However, the spelling of the name is reminiscent of the Biblical giant beast Behemoth, of whom the Lord says "Take now behemoth, whom I made as I did you; He eats grass, like the cattle. His strength is in his loins, His might in the muscles of his belly. He makes his tail stand up like a cedar; The sinews of his thighs are knit together. His bones are like tubes of bronze, His limbs like iron rods. He is the first of God’s works; Only his Maker can draw the sword against him." [Job 40:15-19, quoted in Behemoth, Wikipedia]

The tiny man from the bookstore said that the Book talks of Beh'-Moth the Devourer. [HH Guardian] Possibly the Book was describing some alien creature that was an inspiration for the Behemoth in the Bible.

Contrast with: Devourer.
