It was a dragon.
God talked about how its back is covered in armored shields that no one can penetrate and how it breathes fire and can set coals ablaze with its mouth...
From
Job 41 NIV:
“I will not fail to speak of Leviathan’s limbs,
its strength and its graceful form.
[SUP]13 [/SUP]Who can strip off its outer coat?
Who can penetrate its double coat of armor[SUP][
b][/SUP]?
[SUP]14 [/SUP]Who dares open the doors of its mouth,
ringed about with fearsome teeth?
[SUP]15 [/SUP]
Its back has[SUP][c][/SUP] rows of shields
tightly sealed together;
[SUP]16 [/SUP]each is so close to the next
that no air can pass between.
[SUP]17 [/SUP]They are joined fast to one another;
they cling together and cannot be parted.
[SUP]18[/SUP]
Its snorting throws out flashes of light;
its eyes are like the rays of dawn.
[SUP]19 [/SUP]
Flames stream from its mouth;
sparks of fire shoot out.
[SUP]20 [/SUP]Smoke pours from its nostrils
as from a boiling pot over burning reeds.
[SUP]21 [/SUP]
Its breath sets coals ablaze,
and flames dart from its mouth.
[SUP]22 [/SUP]Strength resides in its neck;
