Aye. they share a name but it's not the same...it's only like "hey this is named after this etc."
in Demonology...the Judeo-Christian Behemoth is more akin to a giant elephant or hippo body with the face/head of a Boar/Bear...it's not an insect.

I'm sure I read somewhere that people sheltered under behemoth. Something about lightning. Maybe it predates the Christian behemoth.
P.S. Demonology is not a real thing. Just call it myth and leave it at that.

Demonology is a real thing. It's the study of religious lore specifically pertaining to monstrosities that occur within it.
and the sheltering aspect is from later Jewish writings, after God kills the Behemoth and Leviathan He makes canopies for humans to find shelter under from the skin of the Leviathan, while He gives humans the Behemoth's flesh of the beast to devour after it is slain...

No really-- I read all that, it's not ringing the right bell. Herp. Can't find what I'm talking about anywhere on the internet. Maybe it was a different monster. To be honest it was probably Greek mythology, but the myth has a more Christian feel to me.
P.S. Demonology is a real thing in the sense that religion is a real thing. Technically you can use the term, but you look like a dickhead unless you just simplify it to "mythology".

If by, "dickhead" you mean "smart" or "educated" then I agree..
with all these juvenile word filters I can't even tell what most of posts on this board mean...
P.S. Stop being a vagina.

I'd rather be a vagina than a wolf with a soul patch. I really just can't get over that soul patch. Can someone edit the soul patch out?
I have to disagree. The kind of people who use words like "demonology" are the kind of people who openly practice Wickan rituals because they think it makes them look mysterious and dark and edgy.

Firstly he's not a Wolf, he's a Coyote and Fennec Fox hybrid... Secondly he has a Soul Patch because it's my fursona and I myself have one... Thirdly I actually happen to be Pagan but I don't do ritual because I think it makes me dark and edgy, I just really clicked with Wicca specifically at first, I can't explain it...I was in boot camp at the time and went to sunday service with a friend and I just really took it up...
Fourthly you sound like a angsty teenage atheist...
but I honestly don't want to get into some religious debate with you...

Demonology is a real thing. It's a real thing that studies things that don't exist. Okay, whatever.

I'm sure that some animal named behemoth exist. On example behemoth lizard or sth, just find it in wikipedia and put replace behemoth by 1 lvl Behemoth Newt :3
