Revhiatani chisikwa chinotaurwa muBhaibheri, mu Bhuku raJobho. Rinorondedzerwa sechikara chikuru, chinotyisa chomugungwa chisina munhu anogona kukunda. Inotendwa sechisikwa chikurusa mugungwa uye yakafukidzwa nezvakavanzika uye ngano. Vanhu vave vachifungidzira pamusoro pekuvapo kwayo kwemazana emakore, asi hapana akambowana humbowo hwechokwadi hwekuvapo kwayo.
Imwe yetsanangudzo dzakakurumbira dzeRevhiatani inobva muBhaibheri, painotsanangurwa seine "zviyero zvakaita sedare", "moyo wakaoma sedombo", uye "mweya unogona kutungidza marasha". Inonziwo ine simba zvekuti kana varwi vane simba vanoitya. Bhaibheri rinorondedzera Revhiatani sechisikwa chinotyisa uye chine simba, chinokwanisa kuparira kuparadza kukuru nenyonganyonga.
Testamente Yekare inotaura nezvehondo inoparadza pakati paMwari nechikara ichi chisinganzwisisike chemugungwa - Revhiatani. Asi dzimwe tsika dzakawanda dzinewo mavhezheni adzo eRevhiatani. MuGirisi yekare, yaizivikanwa se Kraken, nepo mungano dzeNorse, yainzi Jǫrmungandr, kana kuti “Miðgarðsormr”. Kunyange zvinyorwa zvinobva kuBhabhironi zvinoti kurwa pakati pavo Mwari Marduk uye nyoka ine misoro yakawanda kana shato inonzi tiamat. Uyewo, muKenani akazarurwa kubva kuSiria yekare anotaura nezvehondo pakati Mwari Bhaari nemhuka huru, Revhiatani. Muzviitiko zvose izvi, chaiva chisikwa chaigara mugungwa uye chakanga chisingabviri kukunda.
Maererano nenhoroondo dzeNorse (ngano dzeNordic kana kuti dzeScandinavia), iyi nyoka huru yomugungwa yakakomberedza nyika yose, uye kune nyaya dzokuti vamwe vafambisi vezvikepe vakairangarira sei nokuda kwezvitsuwa zvakawanda ndokurasikirwa noupenyu hwavo. Mune ngano dzeJapan, Yamata no Orochi inyoka hombe ine misoro misere ine maziso matsvuku anopenya nedumbu dzvuku. Pane imwe ngano inonakidza kubva kuEgypt yekare - nyoka huru dzakangwara dzakauraiwa neDeath Star yaibhururuka.
Pasinei nengano dzakawanda uye nyaya nezveRevhiatani, hapana anonyatsoziva kana iriko chaizvo. Vamwe vanhu vanotenda kuti inogona kuva a giant squid or octopus, nepo vamwe vachifunga kuti inogona kunge iri rudzi rwechikara chemugungwa chisati chawanikwa. Kwave kune mishumo yakawanda yekuonekwa kwezvisikwa zvikuru zvegungwa mumakore apfuura, asi hapana chimwe chazvo chakasimbiswa sechinogona kuonekwa cheRevhiatani.
Pasinei nekushaikwa kwehumbowo hwepanyama, pfungwa yeRevhiatani yakabata fungidziro dzevanhu kwemazana emakore. Yakave inoratidzwa mumafirimu, mabhuku, uye kunyange mitambo yemavhidhiyo, uye inoramba iri nyaya yakakurumbira kune vengano uye cryptozoologists. Chakavanzika cheRevhiatani ndechimwe icho sezvingabvira chicharamba chichitsungirira kwemakore akawanda ari kuuya.
Mukupedzisa, Revhiatani inoramba iri chimwe chezvakavanzika zvikuru zvegungwa. Ingave chisikwa chaicho kana kuti ingano, inoramba ichifadza vanhu nesimba rayo rinotyisa uye ukuru hunoshamisa. Kutsvaga kweRevhiatani kunogona kusapera, asi nhaka yayo zvicharamba zvichitikurudzira uye kutifadza kuzvizvarwa zvichauya.
