Tiamat
Tiamat is a Babylonian literary primordial female figure in Enūma eliš. No Mesopotamian image is positively identified, and the poem's water, human, and tail language does not establish one fixed monster anatomy. The image is a tightly qualified literary reconstruction, not a claim of independent cult worship, a cult image, or a universal chaos correspondence.
