Leviathan was referred to in the Tanakh and the Bible as basically a giant sea monster, but it's a whale. In Modern Hebrew, it means simply "whale." It rarely, if ever, was portrayed as a serpent instead of a giant fish of some sort.

It's norse equivalent is Jormundgand, but unlike Jordmundgand, the Leviathan is not a snake. Though on the other hand, like with Behemoth, it's name is used to refer to any giant not-squid sea monster these days.
