The monstrous figure in mythology that represents natural disasters is often typified by figures like Tiamat in Babylonian myths or the Leviathan. These beings symbolize chaos and destruction, associated with primordial forces of the universe, often depicted as sea monsters or chaotic entities. Their narratives emphasize humanity's struggle against uncontrollable elements, as they are seen as manifestations of the unpredictable nature of the world and the power of natural forces beyond human comprehension.
