behemoths
Colossal lumbering beasts
Behemoths is the plural of behemoth, something enormous and powerful.
The word comes from a biblical beast described in Job, but now applies to anything massive: Tech behemoths like Google and Amazon dominate the market.
Behemoths may suggest unwieldiness along with size—large corporations or governments that move slowly despite their power.
