Not to be confused with Tiamat from IDW Comics

Tiamat[2] is a giant five headed dragon-like demon and eternal enemy of Marduk, Babylonian god of the city.

History[]

Tiamat fought Marduk for centuries in Babylon, Athens, Rome, Peking (Beijing), Paris, and London. Marduk thought he lost Tiamat in ancient China.[3] However, shortly after Marduk appeared in New York, Tiamat appeared in Central Park. It was vaporized by the Ghostbusters after a long battle utilizing both proton streams and a proton cannon atop the Ecto-1. Egon theorized Tiamat and Marduk were in an ecto symbiosis, one couldn't exist without the other.[4] After Tiamat vanished, Marduk shape shifted into a police officer and left the scene without the Ghostbusters' knowledge.

Based on Mythology[]

According to Babylonian mythology, Tiamat represents chaos and is a primal goddess of the ocean.

Classification[]

Based on mythology, it appears Tiamat is a Deity and could be one of the primal gods alongside Gozer, Proteus, and Necksa.
