Vintage Behemoth Republican Elephant Tapestry

is a mythological beast mentioned in Job 40:15-24. Metaphorically, the name has come to be used for any extremely large or powerful entity. In medieval demonology Behemoth ("several animals") is the nocturnal demon of indulgence and holds the ranks of caretaker of wine cellars, grand cupbearer of the royal household, and right watchman. He oversees the feasts of Jinnestan and is responsible for serving the Devil his food and wine. He also entertains with song and music. Described as a monstrous elephant with feet like a bear, he can also appear like a crocodile, hippopotamus, and whale. He is fairly stupid and his only concern is eating.
