leviathan

Massive oceanic beast

A leviathan is something enormous and powerful, especially a sea creature or ship.

The word evokes massive scale and often menace: The oil tanker was a leviathan of the seas.

By extension, any vast, formidable entity qualifies—a corporation, a government bureaucracy, a whale: The company had become an unwieldy leviathan. (Capitalized Leviathan is the biblical sea monster or Hobbes's political treatise.)
