Notes

• Behemoth has a 1 hour window that opens 22 hours after his last time of death (ToD). There are a total of seven 10 minute mini-windows that are open for about 5~10 seconds. Behemoth will force pop on the 7th mini-window.
  • Example: Behemoth was killed at 12:05:32pm the previous day. His 1 hour window will open at 10:05:32am. His 7 mini-windows open at:
    • 10:05:32am
    • 10:15:32am
    • 10:25:32am
    • 10:35:32am
    • 10:45:32am
    • 10:55:32am
    • 11:05:32am (force pop if you make it to this window).
    • Generally, due to differing time zones, people input the ToD in chat as xx:x5:32 (hh:mm:ss).
  • There is a chance King Behemoth may pop starting on the 4th possible Behemoth spawn since the last time King Behemoth was killed.
• When Behemoth pops, a message appears in everyone's chat.
  • 
• Like many NMs on HorizonXI there is a Claim Shield. Any action will put you on the "claim" list. Once the Claim Shield falls off, a random person will be picked to win the claim.
• Behemoth uses Draw In.

Historical Background

In Biblical legend, the Behemoth was a giant land creature. It is described as the most powerful land animal, a primal beast which cannot be defeated by humans (because it can only be killed by its creator, Yahweh) in the Book of Job in the Old Testament. It is implied to be a mammal and herbivore from its description. It was the counterpart to the Leviathan. In Judaic legend, the Behemoth (having the horns and the strength) and the Leviathan (having the fins and the power) will fight, but both be slain by Yahweh, who will distribute their meat as food along with meat from the Ziz (a gigantic bird) (Behemoth is said to represent the land, Leviathan the sea, and Ziz the air). The Apocryphal Book of Enoch states Behemoth dwells in the Dundayin Desert, east of the Garden of Eden. The word behemoth has entered the English language as anything extremely large or powerful. Behemoth is Hebrew for "animals". It is believed the Arabic Bahamut is a translation of Behemoth (though oddly enough, Bahamut is a giant fish and the animal atop him, Kujata, is a giant bull).
