Leviathan is a character in the film Hellbound: Hellraiser II. A giant silver diamond which emits a constant beam of black light which can cause those caught in it to experience past memories, Leviathan is the god of Hell and ruler of the Cenobites. After Doctor Phillip Channard is taken to Hell by Julia Cotton she reveals that Leviathan had allowed her to return to Earth to bring it more souls before knocking Channard into a Cenobite Transformation Chamber. After a girl named Tiffany solves the Lament Configuration, which had been changed into a miniature replica of Leviathan by the Cenobite Pinhead, Leviathan itself changes into a giant puzzle box. As Leviathan changes forms, it begins to lose its captive souls at a rapid rate; the souls escape to Earth before the gateways to the realm close.
